“I love everything that we have on view because it catches on so many facets of art,” Tampa Museum of Art Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Joanne Robotham said.
The Tampa Museum of Art currently has an exhibition featuring Pepe Mar, an artist born in Mexico. His exhibition will close soon, on May 19.
