A new mural welcoming West Tampa residents is in the works.

Honoring the history and culture of the West Tampa community, the approximately $33,800 mural will be paid for by the City of Tampa and painted onto West Tampa's 59-year-old elevated water tower; at 126 feet tall, the tank is one of two water tanks currently located in Tampa.

Brothers Peter and Rolf Goetzinger -- the Artistbrothers -- have been chosen to paint the large-scale image of an oversized cigar wrapper.

The depiction is a nod to Tampa's cigar factories, which attracted new residents to the city at the turn of the century, the mural will be able to be viewed from I-275 and other nearby streets. The mural will include the words "Welcome to West Tampa.''

Tampa City Council Chair Charlie Miranda credits those new residents for much of West Tampa's success as the thriving city it has become: The City of West Tampa was incorporated in 1895, becoming the fifth largest city in Florida and the second largest city in Hillsborough County by 1905. West Tampa was annexed into the City of Tampa by 1925.

This project "is just one way to honor the heritage and culture of the West Tampa community that continues to shape our city,” says Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn. “This an opportunity to tell West Tampa's story, which is so ingrained in the fabric of Tampa.”

Before the Artistbrothers begin work on the mural, the City of Tampa will make necessary repairs to the elevated tank, including re-coating. Repairs are expected to cost approximately $350,000 and are slated to begin by January 2014.

The entire project, including repairs and painting, is expected to take four months to compete.

A a grand opening and open house will be held on April 3rd and 4th.

“Our recovered lumber business of cypress, black cypress, pecky cypress and heart pine was an instigator of the store's formation,” says Owner Patricia Estes, who operates the store along with her husband, Peter. Pecky cypress wood will be seen throughout the store, recovered by Estes Recovered Lumber.

Offering an abundance of classic, liveable wood furniture; wall and ceiling applications; and linen sofas and chairs, Estes says Pecky's new showroom will offer several lines of home furnishings new to Sarasota and the surrounding area.

Local Tampa media and marketing agency Uhsome has announced an expansion, bringing the company's growth to the Sarasota area.

The brains behind CoWorkTampa, a Tampa-based coworking loft offering affordable memberships to local freelancers and entrepreneurs, Uhsome's new 300-square-foot office will be housed inside of HuB's newly opened space at 1680 Fruitville Road in Sarasota. The HuB space celebrated the grand opening of the Fruitville Road location in December 2012.

“Sarasota is an up and coming, wealthy area with a lot of baby boomers needing online assistance,” says Uhsome CEO Chris Arnoldi. “HuB is at the forefront of the technology scene and is definitely the spot to be. We like associating ourselves with people doing it the right way.”

Since 2009, HuB has been active in promoting big ideas in Sarasota and their renovation of a 10,000-square-foot building is continuing to embrace that concept by housing innovative tech companies, entrepreneurs and creative/tech startups. HuB founder Rich Swier Jr. worked on the renovation with Sarasota's HOYT Architects and Biter Enterprises.

“We do a lot business with people working out of the HuB already,” Arnoldi says. “We plan to be more efficient and accessible.”

Uhsome will begin operating out of their new HuB office on February 1st, offering the same suite of professional services including everything from web design, hosting, consulting and development to iPhone apps and mobile sites.

A new art gallery has made its way to the Edge District in downtown St. Pete.

The Basement at Downtown St. Pete -- which, yes, is actually a basement -- is a new 3,000-square-foot exposed brick space, featuring work by up and coming Tampa Bay area artists. Sponsored by local restaurants and bars, The Basement plans to host monthly events.

“The space is so unparalleled it just oozes creativity,” says The Basement's Nicki Odato. “It brings a surge of uniqueness to an already eclectic city.”

Odato, who runs The Basement with friend Sam Renick, says they weren't looking to open an art gallery when they came across the space at 1000 Central Ave. Instead, they were in the process of looking for a studio space for their local furniture design business, Sotted Design, but saw huge potential for an art gallery.

“Everything just happened organically: We came across the space, it made sense and everything fell into place,” Renick says. “We hope that when people visit The Basement, the same feeling we get every time we go down there, transpires to them.”

In addition to displaying local art, The Basement space is available to rent for photoshoots, videos, yoga classes, etc.

“We love out of the box ideas! Nothing is off of the table when it comes to an idea for the space.”

A funky new community theater space has made its way to Tampa's Kennedy Boulevard.

Located across the street from local favorite Buddy Brew, Powerstories' new 1,000-square-foot space at 2105 W. Kennedy Blvd. is part of the Biscayne Lighting building near Tampa's South Howard Avenue.

Featuring 12-foot ceilings and a large glass storefront, owner Fran Powers couldn't be more pleased with the new location for her nonprofit agency with the mission of staging the true stories of women and girls to open minds and hearts.

“Location, location, location -- it's easy access for individuals living in all parts of Tampa,” Powers says. “The owners are delightful to work with and are truly delighted that we're using their space for such a meaningful mission.”

Powers, who believes that the discovery and the telling of autobiographical stories creates new success, invests our lives with more meaning and connects us vitally with others, says the size of the new space allows Powerstories to move forward with its mission, established in March 2003, without being a financial burden.

Working with Keith Arsenault of Tampa's IAEG Inc. International, Powers and the theater consulting group are in the process of transforming the small $3,000 space into a very versatile 30-seat theater. Currently, the space can be utilized for workshops, rehearsals and open mic nights. An additional $15,000 will be invested to get the space ready for theater season, including the addition and installation of lighting and curtain systems, chairs, risers and a new floor.

“Powerstories will be an incubator space for new and young talent: A new live theater providing quality and rich entertainment can certainly enliven an area,” Powers says. “We envision an active little theater where folks are coming and going and are committed to making this a special, bright jewel in the Tampa Bay area.”

Every other Thursday night, Powerstories opens its doors to the public to allow the community to share and listen to true stories during “Open Mic True Stories Nights.”

In an attempt to bring good retail karma to downtown Tampa, new pop-up retail shops are opening in association with Fashion Week Tampa Bay.

Karma: The Shops at Franklin, located in The Vault at the Franklin Exchange building at 611 N. Franklin St., will celebrate a ribbon cutting ceremony by City of Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn on Thursday, Sept. 20th, at 3 p.m. Karma will focus on the local independent businesses.

“Retail is seriously lacking in downtown,” says Monica Varner, owner of Elan Event Studio and organizer of Karma. “Downtown could really use some shopping to get folks out of their offices during the day; not to mention, downtown just needs energy, in general. A pop-up shop might spark some vendors to try the downtown retail market with low risk.”

With pop-up retail shops currently increasing in popularity in major metropolitan cities such as New York and Los Angeles, as well as during Fashion Weeks throughout the country, Varner thought it would be interesting to have a block of stores and people choosing downtown Tampa as a shopping destination in an attempt to promote more business.

“A big goal is to spark interest in retail, show that there is an interest in it and encourage retailers to open a shop and move into downtown Tampa,” she says. “Retail therapy is good karma for downtown and the pop-up shop is a good tie into Fashion Week, helping designers get some additional exposure in showing their products.”

Clothing, handbags, jewelry and other accessories will be featured at Karma: The Shops at Franklin, as well a massage and hair salon, tying in local retail to the week-long Fashion Week Tampa Bay event which will consist of multiple runway shows, boutique vendor exhibits and fashion-focused activities.

“I'm just trying to change downtown Tampa, one event at a time,” Varner says.

The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) recently approved a $120,000 grant for the Riverwalk Historical Monument Trail, matching private funds raised for the project.

Part of the county's Historic Preservation Challenge Grant Program, the grant was unanimously approved by the BOCC, allowing the county to continue with its project honoring significant events and noteworthy people that have helped shaped the history of Tampa and Hillsborough County. The trail will wind around the  Tampa Riverwalk, serving as an educational tool to residents and visitors walking along the Hillsborough River.

“Tampa has a really rich history and, unfortunately, for many decades, we have not done a great job at preserving that history and honoring the people who have made it happen,” says Steve Anderson, chair of the Historical Monument Trail Committee. “We really want to help people understand and develop a sense of pride for where they live.”

Six people are slated to be honored each year, with current honorees including Clara Frye, humanitarian and founder of Tampa's first hospital for African Americans; cigar manufacturer and Ybor City namesake Vicente Martinez-Ybor; the first Floridians (moundbuilding Indians); businessman and railroad magnet Henry Bradley Plant; James McKay, businessman and early maritime developer; and suffragist Eleanor McWilliams Chamberlain. Friends of the Riverwalk will work in conjunction with the Tampa History Center to honor more than 30 along the trail.

“These monuments are going to placed along the Riverwalk so when guests from out of city and state walk along our beautiful Riverwalk, they will be able to stop periodically and see ... these historically significant people,” Anderson says. “Visitors will be able to read a little bit about how these people contributed to where this community is today.”

Completion and installation of the first six monuments is expected by Fall 2012; the first six clay busts by local artist and sculptor Steve Dickey of Dickey Studios are complete, ready for firing. According to Anderson, the public can submit significant events and historic persons they wish to see featured along the trail.

In June 2012, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn announced that the 2.6-mile Riverwalk received a $10.9 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant to make way on filling two major gaps in the Riverwalk: one segment going south of Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park under the Kennedy Boulevard Bridge and a second going north from the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts to Water Works Park

According to Anderson, the Historical Monument Trail is the first of many projects planned to bring art, history, education and entertainment to the Tampa Riverwalk.

New College of Florida students will see changes on campus when they return in the fall.

Implementing various parts of its 2006 Campus Master Plan, New College recently began a $300,000 renovation on the plaza in front of the Jane Bancroft Cook Library. Sharing the facility with the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, a key component of the project is the construction of a new $400,000 bell tower. The timing of the library plaza renovation is tied to the Fall 2011 opening of the new campus Academic Center and Plaza, located adjacent of the library.

"Over the last few years, New College has been implementing various parts of its Master Plan, which includes urban design components to foster a greater sense of community to enhance the educational and environmental experience for students, faculty and staff,'' says Linda Joffe, New College associate director of public affairs.

According to Joffe, the plan marked an important step in the college's transition back to an independent campus on its historical property, which encompass the former estates of Charles Ringling and Ralph Caples; in 2001, New College separated itself from USF, becoming Florida's independent honors college.

Located between Ringling Plaza and College Drive -- just north of the Ringling Museum and Asolo Repertory Theatre -- the entire plaza in front of the Jane Bancroft Cook Library will be "scraped,'' making way for designs by Graham-Booth Landscape Architecture of St. Petersburg: new pavers, landscaping, lighting, grass, raised planters and tables with attached seating.

In addition, a 64-foot bell tower, designed by Renker-Eich-Parks Architects of St. Petersburg, will evoke New College's historic Four Winds seal and the "building on learning'' concept. The obelisk-style tower will feature four twisting, precast concrete pilasters held together by two rings. Mounted between the rings will be four bells built by French company Paccard, the "Stradivarius of bell makers.'' Currently, more than 120,000 Paccard bells are located in cities and villages throughout the world.

"The modernist bell tower is a welcomed addition to campus architecture. On many college campuses, a bell tower is a landmark and New College wanted to give its students a similar experience,'' Joffe says. "The project is expected to further transform the heart of the campus, creating a seamless, communal outdoor space -- the perfect transition between the historic Ringling-era campus and residential campus.''

According to Joffe, the four bells can be programmed to produce a wide range of melodies. The college hopes that students in the music program will embrace an opportunity to create original music to be played by the new bells.

Funds for the $700,000 project are provided by a $400,000 donation by philanthropists and community leader Beverly Koski with the remaining $300,000 designated by state of Florida infrastructure funding. Project manager and New College Senior Architect Jack Whelan expects the project to be complete by October 2012.

A new community center opens in the Sulphur Springs neighborhood of Tampa.

Located at 1000 E. Eskimo Ave. between Eskimo and Okaloosa Avenues, the $2.5 million, 16,000-square-foot Springhill Park Community Center will be the location of the middle school component of the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA's Neighborhood of Promise Initiative (NOPI) efforts.

Featuring work by Tampa artist Susan Gott, the new community center provides academic support and mentoring opportunities for children transitioning into middle school in the Sulphur Springs neighborhood. A gymnasium, warming kitchen, computer classroom, multipurpose room, splash pad, playground and sports field will be made available to community members, replacing a once rundown block previously devoted to a baseball field.

In addition, the Virginia Rivers Creative Arts Studio will call the new Springhill Community Center home, offering three classrooms and a performance workshop dedicated to theater and performing arts programs.

“This [effort] will continue to strengthen the foundation of our community,” says Mike McCollum, operations executive director of the Promise Initiative.

Funded by Community Investment Tax, the new center will focus on serving social, recreational, health and educational needs through a variety of programs and classes in the economically challenged Sulphur Springs neighborhood.

According to McCollum, the only way to eradicate generational poverty is to implement a complete wraparound model that works to address the systematic issues plaguing low-income communities.

Apart from establishing the new Springhill Park Community Center, NOPI is making additional investments in Sulphur Springs, including the recent opening of Layla's House, a new community center designed to provide assistance to low-income families.

One of the original owners of the St. Petersburg Clay Company recently opened Charlie Parker Pottery, a new studio and gallery in St. Pete.

Charlie Parker of the St. Petersburg Clay Company hosted the grand opening of Charlie Parker Pottery on Saturday, April 21st.

“The grand opening was an opportunity for people to come tour our space, meet some of the artists who work there and shop our gallery featuring their work, as well as Charlie's,” says Nancy Parker, Charlie's wife and office manager.

The new 3,600-square-foot studio and gallery space will be used to host group workshops and provide independent students with a creative environment.

“Our studio is a full service ceramic studio,” Nancy says. “We offer memberships where members can get 24/7 access and full use of the studio. We also offer classes that can be constructed around any skill level.”

Nancy says occasional “BYOB pottery” parties will also be hosted at the new space located at 2724 Sixth Ave. S., where groups can learn how to throw on the wheel from professionals like Charlie.

Working with the St. Pete's Business Assistance Center to launch the new space, the Parkers were keen on creating both a work and gallery space featuring personal works.

In addition to Charlie's work in St. Pete, he just completed a $5,000 ceramic mural -- Platform Art's gift to the City of Lakeland -- which will be unveiled at Platform Art Party #19: Art in AgriCulture on April 28th in downtown Lakeland.

With expected completion quickly approaching, prep work and design input has begun on the Adamo Drive Mural Project in Ybor City.

A two-part project, the approximately $30,000 Adamo Drive Mural Project will make an attempt to enhance the appeal of the Ybor City Historic District, transforming industrial weather-beaten portions of Adamo Drive into a work of art representing the culture, heritage and vitality of both Ybor City and Tampa.

In March, volunteers began prepping the 12,000-square-foot surface for the first mural located on the exterior of the Fabricated Products building at 17th Street and Adamo Drive. Once the surface is clean and free of loose paint, a primer/sealer will be applied followed by an acrylic base coat.

“Basically, work is ongoing at the site to deal with corrosion issues and flaking paint,” says Dave Scott, the project's organizer. “Artist Mike Parker and coatings expert Kevin Schweikhart have done most of the work themselves: A series of sand-blasting, anti-corrosion treatments and a priming layer. It's a big project.”

Scott says Parker and a group of Hillsborough Community College students involved in the project have immersed themselves into the history, heritage and current feel of the Ybor City neighborhood, leading to potential design concepts.

“Parker is about ready to go into his 'cave' to get something on paper,” Scott says. “This typically takes about three days to get a satisfactory approach.”

The mural's design is expected to be complete by April 14th, when a public meeting will be held with the Barrio Latino Commission. The Ybor City Development Corporation is working to with City of Tampa to get Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn to paint the first stroke once image production begins.

“It seems as if this may be the largest mural in the state of Florida when it's all said and done,” Scott says.

Completion is slated for the end of June 2012.

Significant contributions to the project have been made by the City of Tampa, Robin Nigh and Melissa Lebaron of the City of Tampa Art Programs Division, Sherwin Williams, Vykin Corporation, the Columbia Restaurant, Kimmons Contracting Corporation and the Rotary Club of Ybor City.

Mayor Bob Buckhorn recently announced details about the new Tampa Riverwalk Historical Monument Trail.

Winding around Tampa's Riverwalk, the trail will serve as an educational tool to residents and visitors walking along the Hillsborough River. Featuring a variety of bronze and solid granite statues and monuments, approximately seven people who lived and made a significant impact on the Tampa Bay community will be honored each year.

“These monuments are going to placed along the Riverwalk so when guests from out of city and state walk along our beautiful Riverwalk, they will be able to stop periodically and see the likeliness of these historically significant people,” says Steve Anderson, chair of the Historical Monument Trail Committee. “Visitors will be able to read a little bit about how these people contributed to where this community is today.”

Friends of the Riverwalk will work in conjunction with the Tampa History Center to honor more than 30 throughout the Historical Monument Trail. The first six honorees include moundbuilding Indians, Henry Bradley Plant, James McKay, Eleanor McWilliams Chamberlain, Vicente Martinez-Ybor and Clara Frye.

“Tampa has a really rich history and, unfortunately, for many decades, we have not done a great job at preserving that history and honoring the people who have made it happen,” Anderson says. “We really want to help people understand and develop a sense of pride for where they live.”

According to Anderson, monuments will be added each year as Tampa residents will get the opportunity to nominate the specific historic people and events of the area.

The City of Tampa has begun construction on Phase I of the Zack Street Promenade of the Arts project in Downtown Tampa.

In an attempt to create a pedestrian-friendly street with a focus on incorporating public art, approximately $1.2 million will be invested in the the Zack Street Corridor from Ashley Drive to Nebraska Avenue.

A critical link between Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, the Classic Federal Courthouse, Tampa Union Station and Tampa Theatre, Zack Street improvements will include wider sidewalks, landscaping, lighting and public art.

“These kind of improvements in a downtown urban setting are the kinds of improvements that promote pedestrian activities, support downtown merchants and add to the quality of life in the urban core,” says David Vaughn, City of Tampa director of contract administration.

Designed by Graham-Booth Landscape Architecture, the three-phase project will split the corridor into thirds. The current phase is expected to be complete in July, while additional phases are unfunded and unscheduled at this time. More than $3 million is expected to be invested into the project.

“The blocks [in the Zack Street Corridor] are the highest activity areas downtown and another piece in the transformation of the nature of downtown Tampa,” Vaughn says. “It complements what has already occurred while expanding upon it. I'm looking forward to seeing everything come to fruition.”

According to Vaughn, city officials are looking at extending Phase I an additional block, taking improvements past the Classic Federal Courthouse, enhancing the connection from Marion Street.

Traffic on Zack Street will be maintained and remain unaffected.

Downtown Tampa's Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA) is moving and Tom Jennus of Trickey Jennus couldn't be more excited about his involvement in the process.

As part of the creative marketing and advertising company's participation in a yearly nonprofit, pro bono event called CreateAThon, Trickey Jennus was charged with this: How to create buzz regarding FMoPA's move into downtown Tampa's Rivergate Tower.

“We wanted to do something a little outside of the box,” Jennus says. “'See what's developing' is the teaser line that we came up with, installing images from past, present, future and permanent FMoPA collections onto the windows of the Rivergate Tower building.”

Located at 400 North Ashley Dr. in downtown Tampa, the Rivergate Tower's architecturally significant 515,965-square-foot cube consists of six stories. FMoPA is currently making the move into the second and third floors of the building, launching its Move the Museum capital campaign. The museum is scheduled to open its first exhibition in the new location in March 2012.

“The move, as a whole, is really great for the museum because there's now this one block in the City of Tampa that's become an art district,” Jennus says. “You've got the Glazer Childrens Museum, the Tampa Museum of Art and now the FMoPA. Having them all in one central location is really beneficial for everyone at these museums, giving them a lot more exposure.”

Installation of the “See What's Developing” advertising campaign created by Trickey Jennus began on February 4th, seeing completion just three days later on February 6th. Fastsigns on Kennedy Boulevard donated a large portion of the graphics while Bay Area Window Cleaning performed the actual installation process.

“The end product is absolutely stunning. Hopefully we can help the museum get the word out about the move,” Jennus says. “There are literally thousands of nonprofit organizations in the Tampa bay area that don't have the basic means of communication -- marketing materials, brochures, fliers -- and we're very glad to help them. The work we do for the CreateAThon is some of the most inspiring work we do all year and we really look forward to the process.”

Trickey Jennus' FMoPA ads will remain on the Rivergate Tower for two months.

After two years of fundraising efforts, the Tampa City Council recently approved funds for the Adamo Drive Mural Project.

A two-part project, the $30,000 Adamo Drive Mural Project will make an attempt to enhance the appeal of the Ybor City Historic District, transforming industrial, weather-beaten portions of Adamo Drive into a work of art. The project is designed to encourage Ybor residents to take an active role in improving and changing the identity of the neighborhood.

The first mural will cover the rear exterior of a 370-by-35-foot space on the Fabricated Products Building at 17th Street and Adamo Drive, while the second mural will focus on a city block directly across the street from IKEA on the north side of Adamo Drive between 21st and 22nd Streets.

“Art projects such as these not only help to illustrate a rich history and bring students, artists and residents together, but they can stimulate a renewal of energy in urban areas,” says Dave Scott, the project's organizer. “Recently, several major cities such as Omaha, Neb. and Chattanooga, Tenn. have embraced similar art projects as a smart investment to attract potential investors, visitors and residents. I hope this mural is the spark that helps ignite a greater spirit of renewal in Ybor and the downtown area.”

Calling on local muralists Mike Parker and Carl Cowden, the mural's image aims to depict the human experience of Ybor City and early Tampa -- the “Cigar City”-- reminding residents and tourists of Tampa's heritage while encouraging a rediscovery of the national historic landmark district of Ybor City.

Apart from Parker and Cowden, the project will include local creative talent provided by the Hoffman Porges Gallery. Parker even intends to incorporate a Hillsborough Community College art class into the project.

“We too often forget that Tampa has one of the greatest examples of people embracing the 'American Dream','' says Scott. “If we do this right, the mural can be an inspiration to all of us to make the most of our talent and potential -- an important perspective for the renaissance of Ybor and the growth of the Tampa Bay area.”

According to Scott, preparation of the project's exterior will begin in March 2012, while the actual painting of the image is slated for completion by the end of June 2012. Significant contributions to the project have been made by the City of Tampa, Robin Nigh and Melissa Lebaron of the City of Tampa Art Programs Division, Sherwin Williams, Vykin Corporation, the Columbia Restaurant, Kimmons Contracting Corporation and the Rotary Club of Ybor City.
