The Exhibiting Society of Artists (TESA) is our special guest with their curated exhibition, Vibrant Hues of Fall, at the Gallery at Carrollwood Cultural Center this autumn.

"Her Story: Pushing Boundaries"
2025-09-11, 2025-09-12 | Lobby Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
Conceived over dinner following an art reception in November 2024, Her Story: Pushing Boundaries emerged from a heartfelt conversation among four women artists about radical acceptance, healing, and the transformative nature of art. Each of us has used our creative practice to push beyond personal limits, and in doing so, we’ve nudged the boundaries of the communities around us. Instead of telling HIStory, we chose to tell HER Story—a visual journey of growth, struggle, and reclamation.

An exhibit that celebrates three different approaches to visual art by three local artists.
Today, as we face new possibilities in image creation, the three artists of Past, Present & Future have joined efforts to present different approaches. Pat Fenda works with old-world pastels, Stewart Lippe enhances his current photographs with Photoshop, and Robert King has embraced futuristic AI imagery in his work. Regardless of techniques and tools, these artists express their personal sensibilities in all their individual work.

"Community Shutterbug" by Kalonji McClellan
2025-09-11, 2025-09-12 | Alcove Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
Community Shutterbug is an immersive exhibit that reflects my origin story as a photographer, capturing the moments and influences that inspired me to pick up the camera. Each image serves as a window into a world shaped by my passions.
Through this gallery, you’ll embark on a visual journey that weaves together a tapestry of diverse themes—pirates, musicians, reimagined interpretations of classic Hollywood, and otherworldly inspirations. These snapshots are not just photographs but vibrant stories, each echoing the creativity and curiosity that drive my art.

Rehearsal: New Horizons Ukulele Group
2025-09-11 11:30 - 13:30 | The Studio, 13345 Casey Road, Tampa, FL, 33618, United States
The New Horizons International Music Association (NHIMA) is a worldwide organization comprised of more than 250 New Horizons groups with 10,000 members. Some played music during their school years and stashed their instrument in a closet, or attic while the demands of work and raising children took center stage. Others dreamt of being a musician but never had the opportunity, or the money to pay for lessons and instruments when they were school age. Both groups find themselves now at or near retirement with children grown and gone, fewer responsibilities, but just as much desire.
The NHIMA provides opportunities for adults to be involved in a band – whether it’s for the first time, or the first time in a long time. Together we learn and perform in a friendly and positive atmosphere.
