Earlier this month, our community came together on April 10 for a special Community Mural Painting Day, partnering with local artist Dylan Perry to bring a vibrant new mural to life. From first brushstrokes to final details, neighbors helped create a piece that reflects the creativity and spirit of Tampa Heights.
On April 17, we celebrated the mural’s completion at Rhythm & Hues in the alleyway next to the Rialto Theater, where the space came alive with art, music, and community energy.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and left their mark—plus special thanks to Gasparilla Festival of the Arts and PPK for their support in making this project possible.
