The mission of the African Arts in the Park Tampa Festival is to foster cultural and mental growth within African American communities by celebrating and preserving the rich heritage of African traditions. Through a vibrant and inclusive festival experience, our aim is to create a space that promotes unity, understanding, and empowerment, while providing avenues for personal and communal development.
It is our pleasure to present our first annual African Arts in the Park Tampa. Our theme embraces the influences of arts from the African Diaspora and its impact on contemporary American culture, music, art, and dance.
African Arts in the Park Tampa is dedicated to the presentation of an often-under-marketed cultural benefit that Tampa has to offer residents and visitors. African arts of all genres, inclusive of performing arts, visual arts, creative arts,handcrafts, culinary delights and language arts will be on display, performed, and/or demonstrated for the purpose of showcasing its connection to a variety of art forms embraced today in America.
The festival will bring a wide array of artists and over 40 nonprofit organizations together for a weekend of education and celebration. This festival is admission free, it is open to the public, and is handicapaccessible. As the host of African Arts in the Park – Tampa, Uyoyaa’s mission is to bridge and unify diverse cultures through education, the various branches of creative activity, culture, and heritage.
