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!
