Art on HART is Back!


Art on HART is BACK!

HART and the Tampa Bay Foundation for Architecture & Design (TBFAD) are providing another talented local artist the opportunity to showcase their work on a unique (and mobile) canvas - a HART bus!


In September, TBFAD put out a call for local artists to provide artwork to be wrapped around a bus for an entire year. After narrowing the list to three "finalists," HART employees are now being given the opportunity to vote for their favorite artwork.

Public transportation and art are sewn into the fabric of communities across the world. HART and TBFAD hope this collaboration can forge future opportunities to further marry the local art scene with transit and promote artistic expression throughout Hillsborough County.

All three Tampa Bay area artists, whose exceptional designs captured the theme of "Tampa culture," earned the chance to have their designs showcased.

The winner will have their canvas/bus publicly unveiled in January.

HART and TBFAD are excited to have the opportunity to showcase a local artist and transform an ordinary bus into an extraordinary mobile work of art.

Stay tuned!

Stuff a HART Bus for WILD 94.1 Orlando's 8th Annual Toy Drive!


HART has partnered with WILD 94.1's Orlando (from Orlando and the Freakshow) to Stuff-a-Bus for the Children's Home Network!

For the past 8 years, Orlando has collected toys and donations while spending over a week in a tent 30 feet in the air!

This year, HART is providing an alternative for those that can't make it out to the main drop off location in the Metro By T-Mobile parking lot - 2907 N Dale Mabry Hwy.

A HART bus will be stationed daily (12/9/19 - 12/13/19) from 12:00 P.M. - 6:00 P.M. at two Hillsborough County Walmart locations:
  • Brandon Walmart: 11110 Causeway Blvd, Brandon, FL 33511 (Route 8, HARTFlex Brandon)
  • Citrus Park Walmart: 6192 Gunn Hwy., Tampa, FL 33625 (Route 39, HARTFlex Town 'n Country)
Help HART and WILD 94.1 Stuff-a-Bus for the Children's Home Network this holiday season!
