They have a one-of-a-kind full-size reproduction of Pablo Picasso's (1881-1973) Guernica, which is really cool to see. It was our first time here, so we wanted to see some works by the museum's namesakes, as an introduction. We saw amazing 1920s and 30s watercolors and a 1958 stained-glass mosaic by Abraham Rattner, known as a "colorist" for the vibrance of his works. and we saw a cool 1936 abstract by Allen Leepa, apparently painted while he was in high school! And we liked the small "fine crafts" Elemental collection, especially the kimono, somehow made of paper to look like seashells! Admission is by donation, suggested $10, and sometimes you can find free passes at a local library. Either way, it's worth a visit. The Leepa-Rattner Museum is a striking collection that really punches above its class.

Well, I finally went to this wonderful museum and brought my friends along. They were having an…read moreexhibit from the Florida Craft Art Gallery in St. pete. The building is on the NW corner of the St. Pete college campus in Tarpon Springs. It is a beautiful gallery with many rooms. The visiting exhibit was in the front rooms of the museum. There were varied objects on display from sculptures to large petit point pictures to paintings to blown glass. The displays from the L-R permanant collection occupied rooms to the rear of the space. There was a whole room of art from Mr. Rattner, who was a prolific artist in many disciplines, painting, sculpture, fiber arts,and writing. He lived in France before WWII and was strongly influenced by the holocaust tragedies. The best part of this visit is that entry is free. There are clean rest rooms and a sitting area that is handicapped accessible.

The orange belt railroad came to Tarpon Springs in 1887. This was also when Tarpon Springs was…read moreincorporated and the lighthouse was built. It was a narrow gauge railroad for transporting goods including turpentine and sponges to the north. Those were some of the products of this part of the state. In fact, this county was so covered with pine trees (the sap is harvested to create turpentine), it was named by the Spanish explorers as "The Point of Pines" aka Pinellas in 1528! This name was later adopted when the county was formed in 1912. This was one of the many interesting facts I learned from Carol, who kindly gave me an excellent guided tour of the museum. The museum is the second version of the train station, built in 1909. Unfortunately the original building burned down but the current one was built and has lasted more than 100 years! Plant purchased the railroad in 1895, rebuilt it to standard from narrow gauge, and connected it to the rest of his railroad. CSX later acquired it and eventually closed down and turned over the track to the local cities in 2005. They donated the station with the stipulation that it be preserved. The railroad tracks were quickly removed and the long trail eventually became the Pinellas (bike and walking) Trail. As for the train station itself, it contains many interesting artifacts and a sad but important historical detail. Artifacts include original mechanical semaphore controls, a huge mechanical cash register that could do calculations and much more. Since the station was built before desegregation, there are two front doors and two ticket windows. Change is good. Life is good with a well-preserved, historic site and museum.

I had been to HCC plenty of times before and did not know this existed until learning about the special exhibit for the Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival. Covid 19 procedures - Access is free, but you have to make an appointment online as they are taking care to limit capacity. The appointment system is easy to navigate. I even cancelled and rescheduled my original appointment due to a conflict and the process was easy. You have to wear a mask and others on campus are wearing masks. They have signs navigating you where to find the gallery on campus but thankfully a friendly campus officer asked if I needed help. He directed me exactly where to go and saved me the trouble of getting lost on my own. My appointment was on a Thursday evening as this is the day with the latest hours. My appointment started on time. The employee helping me was friendly and gave me space as I looked around. I was the only one there so it felt like having my own private showing which was cool. It is a very small gallery inside the school's library. It has a space for special exhibits on one floor and then a main gallery on the floor up. I definitely look forward to going back for other special exhibits.

In addition to featuring hard-to-find art, Gallery 221 located at the Hillsborough County Community College Dale Mabry Highway campus is quite simply a bit hard to find. But those willing to make the effort will be well rewarded for finally finding a parking spot, figuring out which cluster of buildings it's housed in and making the trek through the campus to the second floor location. There is also a satellite exhibition area of sorts one floor above the gallery that showcases works be different artists that those highlighted in the main exhibition space. Space may be minimal but curators manage to make the most of the display area by featuring really interesting works of art and installing it in creative ways. Based on the grounds of the bustling Hillsborough Community College Campus there is always activity that balances well with the creative energy exhibited here. The only drawback to the campus connection is that fact that the gallery remains dark during extended holiday breaks when classes are suspended. The current exhibit "Sacred Folk" features wonderful, whimsical selections of folk art through June 21 but watch out for summer hours when the gallery is closed on Fridays.

It has quite a few nice little pieces of art on the walls from many different artists, all of which actually have little studios in this building, however a lot of the work is very expensive for what are just prints and not the originals that are on the walls. Many of the rooms are just large enough for two people and they basically all consist of just artists trying to sell to locals or tourists that stop in here. They are some really nice folks but a few were standoffish and made me decide not to buy anything because they probably thought they were better than their neighboring artists. This gallery actually has an amazing section that has a person who has collected basically hundreds of different The Beatles memorabilia. Some of the items this man had was amazing and I never knew existed, like a decanter in the shape of John Lennons head! Overall its a cool place but I don't think I can see myself ever going back here again. It is cool to check out at least once though!
