The Participatory Gallery provides an opportunity for visitors, especially children, to interpret works of art and make connections to the world around them. Visitors are invited to manipulate images similar to the art viewed in the exhibition, spend time in a reading resource area, view themselves as part of a piece of artwork, and experiment with their own interpretations of the works and the stories they provide. The Tampa Museum of Art focuses on the visitor experience by creating a welcoming environment, the aim of the Participatory Gallery is to create a family-friendly space for the community to play, explore and learn together.
The wall behind us...we decorated with fake snakes, chicks, and various other objects that stick to the wall. Gina set up the camera and "whapow" the picture was taken. Yeah...we are rocking in this pic. LOL
The rest of the museum was pretty swanky...however...I've seen better. The pottery, photography, glass work, and statues were cool too. And the best part...it was FREE!!!! Yeah buddy free admission between 10-12. So anywhoo...after our spiffalicious visit, we drove around downtown Tampa searching for this Burrito restaurant David suggested we go. Unfortunately we couldn't locate it. So we headed for Ybor City and decided to eat lunch at Spaghetti Warehouse. Some of us didn't like what we got...but dessert was much better I think. Anyways...of course we had to stop and get a lil something-something from the great Starbucks...or else Michele mighta had a fit. Yummm Mocha Frapps ROCK! We walked the great streets of Ybor and then headed home.
Fun day...good times....crazy yet spiffalicious swanky people.

Had a great day in Y bor City and Tampa. Now I am ready to sit the Rain is a lot too why so much rain, it gets a little annoying.
I would love to have joined you guys:( I could have brought my camera and photographed in Ybor! Yes, as I have come to learn, Mocha Frapps do rock!
We need to do something like this again, hopefully I won't already have plans and remember, always call my cell. My home phone is primarily for telemarketers to bother and me not answer!
Yes, I know I'll always get a reaction from people when I tell them about the dog birthday party. I enjoyed going to that just to say I had been to one!
If was a fun picnic with my friends.
Ok Gabby, your public awaits a new post!
