Rehearsal: Carrollwood Winds

The Carrollwood Winds is a concert band comprised of local community members who are committed to performance. The band performs a wide range of literature at the high school and college level. Members of the band are not beginners or novices, rather members of the community with band experience who are looking for a venue to continue their craft. The Carrollwood Winds performs at the Carrollwood Cultural Center four to five times throughout the year and is branching out to other community and educational venues as well.

"Give Thanks, Give Back" by Hanna Rachocka (Online Exhibit & Auction)
2026-05-27, 2026-05-28, 2026-05-29, 2026-05-30, 2026-05-31 | Gallery at Carrollwood Cultural Center, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa FL 33618
Give Thanks, Give Back by Hanna Rachocka is an entirely online exhibit and charity auction benefiting the Carrollwood Cultural Center. The exhibit and auction will close on December 31, 2026.
The collection is a series of ten impasto acrylic paintings by Hanna Rachocka that transform the traditional still life into an elemental exploration of emotion, weather, and inner fire. Each vessel becomes a metaphor for the human spirit—resilient in rain, tangled in thought, radiant in bloom, or aflame with creative force. Together, the works weave a narrative of resilience, paradox, celebration, and transformation, inviting viewers to reflect on the seasons and storms of the soul.
Each original painting is valued at $700 but available for a $375 donation. You can purchase each painting by donating directly to the Carrollwood Cultural Center. Paintings are available for immediate pick up once the donation is made. 100% of the proceeds will directly support the Center.

"Direct/Indirect" by William Talenti
2026-05-27, 2026-05-28, 2026-05-29, 2026-05-30 | Atrium Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
“At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them.”
-Albert Camus
These six paintings (in the exhibit) concern pigment application and idea combination. I began each piece with a deliberate modality—Realistic, Abstract, or Non-Objective—pairing each with a “sister” painting on an opposing wall to serve as a formal counterpoint. Eventually, the rules dissolved, and I stopped following the recipe. An overlapping of my emotional state and the evolving surface of the paint occurred, allowing the content to find its own voice beyond the initial structure.
Direct/Indirect represents a deliberate unlearning of over thirty years of visual literacy. As both an educator and a painter, I am fascinated by how a personal artistic voice is constructed, refined, and—eventually—dismantled. By isolating the core elements of color, shape, value, and pattern, I converge figurative representation with the intuitive faculty of abstraction. These works seek the tension between what we see and how we think, emptying the familiar to discover what remains.
-William Talenti

Rehearsal: New Horizons Ukulele Group
2026-05-28 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.

No two TMI shows are alike, but rest assured, we bring a saucy, edgy, extremely cool, and hip PG-13 rating to the function that most family members can enjoy!
