TBBCA Businesses & Individuals in the Arts Awards Gala  

November 5, 2009

Thursday 6:30pm - 9:30pm

Detail: The Tampa Bay Businesses for Culture and the Arts is celebrating 20 years of bringing arts, culture and businesses together for an investment in our community! Each year the TBBCA publicly recognizes and honors businesses and individual professionals whose support has had a significant impact on Tampa Bay's arts and culture. This year the TBBCA will celebrate its Awards Gala on November 5, 2009 at The Florida Aquarium. Dinner, cocktails and entertainment from local artists and musicians will help to make this a memorable event! Attendees will be among the first to experience a live performance from the world premiere production of "Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure," produced by the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center (TBPAC), which opens Nov. 24 and runs through Jan. 3 at TBPAC's Ferguson Hall. The fundraising portion of the gala will showcase some of the best creative talent in the Bay Area in a live artist and art auction where attendees can bid on performers and artists to bring arts and culture into their businesses or homes for the holidays.
