about pride & passion

The LGBTQ+ community plays a significant role in the artistic and cultural fabric of Tampa Bay and around the world. Pride & Passion, a signature fundraising event for the Tampa Museum of Art, has celebrated the community and its impact on the arts for the past fifteen years. All funds raised by Pride & Passion directly support Museum programs that reduce barriers to admission, create safe places for people to experience the arts, and celebrate local talent. This year, Pride & Passion will focus its efforts specifically on LGBTQ+ youth in the Tampa Bay community while partnering with Metro Inclusive Health to bring new programs to the Museum.

Friends and members of the LGBTQ+ community comprise the Pride & Passion committee, and they all share a passion for the mission of the Tampa Museum of Art. Since the first event, Pride & Passion has grown bigger each year, not only in the number of guests but also in theme and fundraising efforts.
