Tampa Museum of Art

The Tampa Museum of Art will expand and enhance programming designed to reduce stress and anxiety associated with economic hardship. Due to documented reports indicating increased signs of clinical anxiety and depression, the museum will extend its existing art therapy-informed interventions online and expand virtual engagement opportunities to families participating in the Museums for All program. The museum will refocus the regular duties of the permanent staff and create the position of Digital Media Producer to support the need for more online programming due to COVID-19. Primary project components will include art therapy-informed in-gallery conversations between parents and children, take home art supplies and online videos for extended learning, and online engagement for families unable to visit the downtown museum campus.
