A place to collect, protect and share our community with the world. No place in the Louvre does it state Da Vinci was a gay man, nowhere in the Vatican does it say Michelangelo was a gay man, the Library of Congress doesn’t claim that Rita Mae Brown or Susan Sontag were lesbians.

FREE trees, compost, educational sessions & more at our first annual Earth Fair! This family-friendly celebration will also feature live music, food trucks & hands-on activities. Join City departments and sustainable community partners as we highlight ways we’re building a healthier, more resilient Tampa.
