"I want to host art in my building"

The Talentum Meritus Arts Foundation is a fine arts advocacy group which arranges public art exhibitions, throughout Tampa Bay, to benefit up-and-coming talent, underrecognized creatives, and career artists of proven talent. We partner with like-minded business managers and promoters of art and expression, to create new opportunities to showcase art that captures Tampa Bay's culture, history and creative impetus.

TMAF networks with venues and businesses in the community, seeking out business owners and individuals, who embrace the arts, and prompting them to support our local artists through the most simple of means. The best example of stewardship that a business or venue can offer is the right to showcase the works of local artists upon their walls for a generous span of time. The benefits that this offers are both symbiotic and synergistic, with artists gaining the space to exhibit their art and earn a profit, and with the business benefitting from the increased flow of traffic and the appreciation of their patrons. Our typical art exhibitions promote from thirty to fifty pieces of art, and exhibitions normally last from one to two months. A large exhibition can amass upwards of one hundred or more artworks. The scale of the exhibit we assemble is largely dependent upon the needs and accommodations of the venue that hosts it. 

Unless indicated otherwise by our participating artists, the works exhibited are available for sale to the patrons of the venue. All artworks on exhibit hang with an inobtrusive card which states vital details regarding each artwork – namely the artist’s name, the title of the artwork, the media that was used to create it, the price of the artwork, and the phone number or email address of the artist. All sales are conducted through the artists themselves.

Do you believe art is instrumental to the good of the community? Do you have the space to exhibit a show?
