Adorn the Bay is a mural initiative helping to revitalize Tampa Bay communities, while employing displaced artists from Florida, North Carolina and California.
TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Adorn Murals™, in collaboration with the AMPD Project, is thrilled to announce the launch of Adorn the Bay, a transformative initiative dedicated to revitalizing Tampa Bay communities through custom mural art. Co-founded by Jessica Henson of Adorn Murals and Marcos Resendez of the AMPD Project, this initiative aims to help restore hurricane-damaged businesses, non-profits, and municipal facilities while supporting displaced artists from Florida, North Carolina, and California.
Key Highlights of the Initiative:
- Revitalizing Tampa Bay Communities: The initiative's focus is on businesses, non-profit organizations, and municipal facilities in the Tampa Bay area that have been impacted by hurricanes, with plans for broader expansion as funding grows.
- Empowering Businesses: Participating businesses will receive custom-designed murals tailored to their vision, helping to attract customers and create vibrant community spaces.
- Supporting Artists: Adorn the Bay will prioritize employing muralists who have been displaced in the recent natural disasters of Florida, North Carolina and California. This mural initiative provides artists opportunities to supplement lost income and to contribute their talents to rebuilding efforts.
- Sponsor Partnerships: With an initial fundraising goal of $50,000 to cover 5-10 murals, the initiative is seeking sponsors committed to making a positive impact and hopes to reach this goal by the end of April 2025.
- Transparent Engagement: Sponsors and contributing artists will be celebrated through various channels and updated on the goals achieved and the communities transformed.
"This initiative is about so much more than painting walls," said Jessica Henson, co-founder of Adorn the Bay. "It's about resiliency, and showcasing what art and community can achieve together." Co-founder Marcos Resendez of the AMPD Project added, "Through Adorn the Bay, we're not just creating murals – we're creating opportunities for businesses, artists, and the entire community to heal and thrive."
