Celebrate Expression at the Ritz Ybor-Tampa-This Saturday!
A few years ago, two friends approached my friend Okesene Tilo about their frustration at not being able to break into the art world here in Tampa (no snide remarks from my friends up north, yes, Tampa has an art world :)
Although Okie's background was in accounting, he took on the challenge and frustration gave birth to an inclusive art show that allowed artists courageous enough to show their art to do so.
Since then, the event has blossomed into a celebration of expression - and not just art. This Saturday night, there will be 75 artists displaying their work, a fashion show runway, dance companies performing and bands playing. I can promise it will be a blast!
This spring's event is called Man on the Moon and I have reserved a space to share the Out Your ego! cards and board game, along with some new Haiku-ware and my novels.
If you're in the Tampa area, please stop by and support this fabulous community event and come say hello to me. Here are the details and a link to the Facebook page for the Man on the Moon event.
