On display in the Gallery at Carrollwood Cultural Center:
Main Theatre Gallery: Jazz presented by the Gallery at Carrollwood Cultural Center
Jazz celebrates all aspects of jazz and how jazz music evokes celebration, joy, and rhythm. It captures the ambiance and gaiety of life. When one listens to jazz, there is a skip in their step, a whistling of a tune, a tapping of their toes, and a glistening in their eye. That’s the spirit of art in this exhibit.
Additional exhibits currently on display:
Atrium Gallery: It Takes a Village by Jeanette Bradley
Lobby Gallery: Art Lovers Exhibit by TESA
Corridor Gallery: Florida Has My HeART by Tampa Day School
Artist Corner: Imaginality by Tiffany Badami

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.

Amanda Wingfield is a faded remnant of a Southern gentility who now lives in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura, who has a physical handicap and debilitating shyness. The father has left home; Tom supports his mother and sister with a shoe-factory job he finds unbearable. When Amanda convinces Tom to bring home from his workplace a “gentleman caller” for Laura, the illusions that Tom, Amanda, and Laura have each created in order to make life bearable collapse about them.
The Glass Menagerie is presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.
