Voices of the Community

The Straz Center’s Voices of the Community virtual town halls provide a safe space for sharing stories and experiences, cultivating relationships and highlighting topics or pieces of art created by or about Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color (BIPOC) or groups.

The goal is to educate those who want to more fully understand Black lives and the contributions of the Black community. The town halls also help build a strong foundation to amplify The Straz’s role as a community partner for empowerment and inspiration in celebration of Tampa Bay’s BIPOC community.

The Straz Center's 2023 Project Amplify is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
