ART AFTER DARK


T a m p a M u s e u m o f A r t A R T A F T E R D A R K
Held on the third Friday night of each month from 8pm-11pm at the Tampa Museum of Art's ART AFTER DARK series merges music with visual and performance art. We couldn't resist checking it out for ourselves when we found out that our new favorite Florida locals GreyMarket were performing at an event that also featured puppet shows and was sponsored by Starbucks! In fact, our comrades here in Jacksonville were surprised we even came back to town after! So down to Tampa we went and experienced it for ourselves and were not disappointed. Below are some photos from the event and a short video clip. The middle photo above is Holli Rubin (artistic director Bits N Pieces Puppets) with Ken Rollins (executive director Tampa Museum of Art) who we had the pleasure of meeting.

Shades of Grey
Bay area locals GreyMarket rocked the main gallery with two sets including songs from both of their self released CDs and new songs from their forthcoming album.
