Tampa Florida Tourism At a Glance

Best Time to Visit Tampa Florida
Winter and spring are considered Tampa's high season. During the summer, you'll be exposed to huge, showy thunderstorms on many afternoons, and temperatures hover around 90F during the day but drop to the mid-70s at night. Click Here to find hotels in Tampa. If you need additional visitor information for Tampa, Click Here.

Average Tampa Weather
Summer is hot, humid and muggy. Winter is ideal in Tampa - with temperatures hanging around 60 or 70. During spring (March-May), temperatures go up and make way for the summer heat. This is a nice time to visit. Throughout July and August, temperatures hit 90 degrees and the humidity is thick.

Transportation
When in Tampa do as the Tampa folks do - drive a car. A car is the best and most convenient way to get around Tampa. I-75 and U.S. 41 stretch the length of the region. U.S. 41 links the business districts of many communities, so it's best to avoid it and all bridges during rush hours. U.S. 19 is St. Petersburg's major north-south artery; traffic can be heavy, and there are many lights, so use a different route when possible.

In-Season Costs
Tampa's high season is during the winter. Most hotel prices escalate at this time of year, but tend to dip back down during the late spring and summer.

Tampa Gallery of Photographic Arts
Cut, Edit and Embellish- A Life in Collage

Category:     Tampa Museum in Florida


Description of this Tampa Attraction: TAMPA GALLERY of PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS PRESENTS CUT, EDIT and EMBELLISH – A LIFE IN COLLAGE: an EXHIBITION of PHOTOGRAPHY by HUGH SHURLEY. OCTOBER 16th 2004 – January 2nd 2005. Using layers of single transparent images while deftly and intricately placing a myriad of other objects between – Hugh Shurley creates a unique work of photographic art full of intrigue and mystery. Found objects and shreds of other photos, historical documents, and personal mementos create a depth of field that can only be found in collage. Rather than focusing entirely on the photographs themselves, Shurley is more interested in looking deeper into the image – as he puts it: “peeling inside the photograph” – and using collage to bring out the story that seems to live within it “like an old memory.” Mr. Shurley is a nationally acclaimed photographer who has exhibited his one-of-a-kind collage photographs throughout the country. He has taught, lectured, published books and been featured in many publications including Rolling Stone, Premier and Genre as well as a book jacket illustration for Vintage International, London. In addition, he has exhibited with the Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, NY; In Collaboration, Santa Monica and Akron, OH; Villa Montalvo, Los Gatos; ARU, San Francisco; SF Cameraworks. He is represented by the Art Center Gallery in Pasadena and at galleries in New York City.
