The first Pride & Passion, held in June 2006, was the largest one-time membership event ever held at the Museum. Since then, the event has continued to encourage new memberships and raise funds in support of exhibitions and educational programs. The event was nominated in 2013 for the Tampa Downtown Partnership’s Urban Excellence award. MISSION: To be the premier LGBT event for the Tampa Museum of Art’s community outreach by producing a fun, memorable and profitable annual event that raises funds for Museum exhibitions, encourages new memberships, fosters a continuing commitment by current members and reaffirms the Museum’s commitment to diversity.
