Pride & Passion: Wonderland
Saturday, May 25, 2024
The Tampa Museum of Art invites you to fall down the rabbit hole into a world of whimsy and wonder at this year’s Pride & Passion: Wonderland on Saturday, May 25, 2024. Celebrate eighteen years of Pride & Passion by immersing yourself in a realm of imaginative delight and celebrate the vibrant LGBTQ+ culture of Tampa Bay. The museum will transform into a Wonderland of extraordinary proportions, offering guests a night of themed drinks, hors d’oeuvres from LGBTQ-friendly vendors, and an array of performances throughout the space.
About Pride & Passion at the
Tampa Museum of Art
The LGBTQ+ community plays a significant role in the artistic and cultural fabric of Tampa Bay and around the world. The Tampa Museum of Art holds Pride & Passion each year in collaboration with the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to be vocal in celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion. When Pride & Passion started in 2006, TMA was one of the only organizations in the Tampa Bay area that was not an exclusively dedicated LGBTQ+ entity to hold such a community awareness program. We believe that the values that Pride & Passion represents are important now more than ever in preserving past victories and making new strides toward equity and equality.
