A LETTER FROM TBBCA PRESIDENT For over three decades the core mission guiding non-profit Tampa Bay BCA has never changed. A healthy business – arts – cultural ecosystem is necessary for our community any community – to thrive. The beneficial return on investment in arts and culture makes clear their value as economic drivers. They help attract and retain businesses and the quality workforce that employers seek. They are vital catalysts that lead to an innovation economy. And as importantly, arts and cultural organizations and individual artists are businesses themselves, employers and employees, large and small, generating income, revenue, and contributing to the economic cycle. TBBCA is a small but resourceful non-profit. This year, we doubled up our determination to look for ways to reinforce our mission and programs and how best to serve our community. We forged new pARTnerships and reinforced others. We were honored to have been chosen by the Gobioff’s to help develop, launch and administer a new ‘Hillsborough Artists Relief Program’ to provide unrestricted emergency grants. Thanks to the Gobioff Foundation and the Vinik Family Foundation’s extremely generous seed funding, and contributions from other donors, TBBCA delivered financial assistance to more than 400 artists - skilled working professionals of all types – singers, musicians, dancers, actors, visual artists. The case is compelling that we need to get the creative class working again for the well-being of our society, and the program remains open. New pARTnerships and the generosity of Hieronymus Foundation, Michael and Linda Connelly, and other donors also were key to providing financial tuition assistance and significant additional student support through the Charlie Hounchell Art Stars Scholarships. Tampa Bay’s talented young students face unique challenges as they pursue higher education in the arts. This program is vital to ensure the success of future creative leaders who will inspire and change our world. In this 31st year of TBBCA Impact Awards recognizing extraordinary contributions to and in support of arts and culture, our honorees could not be more deserving. Tampa Museum of Art is celebrating its centennial as a cultural leader. With wide-ranging programs and services, the impactful difference the museum continues to make is key to a thriving healthy community. BNY Mellon Wealth Management’s robust support of arts and culture includes generous financial commitments to non-profits and loans from their corporate art collection for exhibitions. Support for Tampa Bay museums, cultural organizations and artists is crucial as they galvanize dialogues and work to improve mental and emotional health, racial and cultural equity. And we are extremely proud to honor the pioneering African American photojournalist and diplomat, the late Griffith J. Davis. His life is marked by a number of courageous firsts, contributions and achievements, on the international front in African countries as they sought to establish their independence, and here in America during the struggle for civil rights. Griff Davis and his important and remarkable body of work hold many lessons that we can apply to the critical issues of today and help put us on the path to better understanding and positive solutions. If we learn anything from this turbulent year it is that we all need to stay connected and inspire each other. We hope TBBCA Impact Awards help us do just that. Stephen Gay

Scott J.
MENAUL Featured Artist Scott Menaul was a recognized, published, award-winning Abstract Surrealist artist with residence, studio and fine art business in Clearwater, Florida. The artist’s extensive and innovative body of work is marked by obsessive experimentation with techniques and materials, heavily influenced by his early interest and studies in math and science. Menaul’s geometrical forms, color, patterns reflect the engineer’s keen sense of precision, coupled with a groundbreaking interplay of light and the surrealistic transparency of “glass” and glass-like objects. The glowing, reflective quality is emblematic of Menaul’s celebration of the human spirit and imagination. The artist’s compelling abstract visual portals are meant to launch us into a metaphorical personal and spiritual journey toward joy and exhilaration. Scott Menaul began creating art photographs in high school in Poughkeepsie, NY, with home-built pinhole cameras he made from shoeboxes and aluminum foil. After graduation, he set aside pursuits of architecture and classical music to explore the practical applications of math and science. He earned a degree in electrical engineering at Syracuse University. Menaul would sneak into the university computer room in the middle of the night. Using punch cards and a dot matrix printer, the curious inventor first experimented with digital processes to create fine art unlike anything he had done or seen before. Menaul’s inaugural gallery showing of photography in 1996 was sponsored by IRIS graphics of Bedford, MA, the manufacturer of the first giclée printer for reproduction of fine art prints. The collaboration was a fruitful one, and for many years Menaul was an early beta tester of the company’s newest innovations and printers. While creating photographic images and artwork for clients, Menaul pioneered many different techniques, including the use of 4x5 camera to manipulate multiple exposures on one piece of film. When Macintosh computers were developed, Menaul saw an opportunity to harness the more advanced graphic capabilities that would enable further experimentation. Menaul discovered that leveraging the technological tools and combining photography with digital effects allowed him even greater artistic freedom. This inspired new artworks that took on an illusory quality in seeming juxtaposition to their actuality. Menaul’s early works debuted at the first biannual CyberArts Festival in Boston in the spring of 1999. He immediately became a coveted artist collected nationally and internationally. Today, Scott Menaul’s uniquely creative and pioneering spirit lives on through his artwork.

ART STARS SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAM
Jordan
LAKINS TBBCA 2020 Charlie Hounchell Art Stars Scholarship laureate for Theatre is Jordan Lakins. Jordan’s dedication to the arts began with studying the trumpet, baritone and more recently piano. While her passion for jazz music endures, the Howard W. Blake High School Class of 2020 graduate really “fell in love” with theatre under the direction of Blake professor Sean Ryan Paris. With his mentorship, Jordan learned character development and explored new wave genres. Jordan’s stellar performances at Blake included the role of Rizzo (Grease), and also ensemble in Violet. Jordan was elected to the Thespian board and also served as co-president of Blake’s YDS. Jordan has faced many challenges, and credits her role model – her mother - who singly raised Jordan most of her life, for spurring her work ethic and determination to achieve her goals of higher education studies and a professional career in performing, acting, and musical theatre. Jordan earned a coveted place in the prestigious acting program at Pace University in New York City. With financial tuition assistance and other support from TBBCA Charlie Hounchell Art Stars Scholarships program, Jordan is now pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Pace.

Griffith J.
DAVIS
Lifetime Achievement Impact Award Honoree
Griffith J. Davis (1923-1993), was a pioneering African American journalist, photographer, and U.S. Senior Foreign Service Officer. In the 1940s, the prodigious young Davis became a reporter for Atlanta Daily World, the oldest continually published African American newspaper in the country. During WWII, Davis served in the U.S. Army as a Buffalo Soldier and photographer with the 92nd Infantry Division in Italy. After the war, Davis returned to his birthplace Morehouse College. There he formed strong bonds with Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes. His friendship with Hughes evolved from student-professor at Atlanta University to professional colleagues to lifelong friends. Hughes recommended Davis to John H. Johnson, founder and publisher of Ebony. Davis became the magazine’s first Roving Editor. He was the only African American student accepted into Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism’s class of 1949. While completing his Master’s at Columbia, Davis rented a room at Hughes’ home in Harlem. After graduation from Columbia, Davis immediately was hired as a freelance photojournalist for Black Star Agency by one of its founders, Kurt Safranski. As the only African American international freelance photojournalist for Black Star and stringer correspondent for the New York Times, Davis covered events across Africa, Europe and parts of the U.S. Griffith Davis’ photographs and articles were featured in Fortune, Ebony, Time, Modern Photography, Steelways, New York Times, Der Spiegel and other notable publications. He was one of the few African Americans working on the international scene. In 1952, Griff Davis started his 35-year career as a pioneer U.S. Foreign Service Officer at the first U.S. Embassy in Africa in Liberia. Later, Davis was posted in Nigeria and Tunisia, and served in many capacities for USAID across Africa, and at the U.S. State Dept. headquarters in Washington, D.C., until his retirement in 1985. He advised leaders and governments across the globe, and influenced their development policies in the communications, education, population and economic development arenas. Davis was masterful in connecting politicians and writers in the U.S. to their counterparts in Africa. He provided a unique window into the emerging African Independence movements that in many ways paralleled his insight and examination of black culture and the civil rights movement in the U.S. Throughout his long and illustrious career as a photojournalist and diplomat, Davis played a pivotal role, influencing, shaping and advancing cultural understanding, racial equality and international cooperation. Griffith Davis left a pioneering, innovative and sophisticated body of work, including 55,000 photographs complemented by archival history as represented by correspondence exchanged with his friends Hughes and King. Davis joins these iconic figures of history whose messages echo through the generations to critical issues of today - Black identity, racism, and the struggle for equal rights. Davis’ legacy is carried forward by his daughter, Dorothy Davis, President of Griffith J. Davis Photographs and Archives.

CONGRATULATIONS to BNY Mellon Wealth Management, TBBCA Chair Circle pARTner
The Tampa Bay community is grateful for your support for arts and culture
HONOREE
Tampa Museum of Art
Tampa Museum of Art
100 Years of Cultural Leadership & Community Impact Award A century ago, a community of enthusiastic visionaries came together to help develop prospects for the artistic future of Tampa. The organization born in 1920, then called the Tampa Museum of Fine Arts, was established to supply the need for essential fine arts programs for the young and developing City of Tampa. One hundred years later, as the Museum and the Tampa Bay area grew, the objective stayed true. The artwork on view at the Museum inspired thousands of art education programs, school tours, community outreach programs, and more. From the beginning as the Tampa Museum of Fine Arts (1920-1923) to the burgeoning Tampa Art Institute (1923-1966) and the Tampa Bay Art Center (1966-1979) to Tampa Museum of Art (1979-present), volunteers, administrators, educators, and patrons worked to make a valuable, lasting cultural legacy in the Tampa Bay community. Michael Tomor, the Penny and Jeff Vinik Executive Director of the Tampa Museum of Art, said that “the community’s support has been essential to the Museum’s success year after year.” Today, the Tampa Museum of Art inspires the residents of the Tampa Bay region. It attracts visitors from around the world by providing engaging exhibitions and innovative educational programs that emphasize ancient, modern, and contemporary art. Year-round creative programs offered virtually, on-site, and at various locations throughout Hillsborough County provide children, teens, and adults with opportunities to discover new skills and learn different art-making techniques. The Museum brings together local, national, and international artists and scholars to inspire visitors to take part in exhibitions and art discourse through lectures, tours, and community partnerships.
As a cultural leader in the Tampa Bay community, the Tampa Museum of Art represents, honors and celebrates the richness and complexity of the region’s cultural tapestry. The Museum is committed to reducing barriers of admission and making accessible programs that represent all members of our community and allow everyone space to learn and reflect on the critical issues of our time. The Tampa Museum of Art achieves this through a growing list of community outreach partners. The Museum’s partners include the University of South Florida, the University of Tampa, Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa, The Spring of Tampa Bay, the Drug Abuse Comprehensive Coordinating Office, and nearly 300 agencies and community nonprofits across four counties. Through these partnerships, The Museum delivers a diverse range of art education programs that provide art therapy interventions and meaningful modes of self-expression to vulnerable segments of the population. To support children victimized by domestic violence, human trafficking, and homelessness, the Museum started Art Space. This program also focuses on teens who are aging out of the county’s foster care system. By partnering with the Hillsborough County Department of Children’s Services and other agencies, TMA helps give stability to young lives. The Museum provides in-gallery interventions for adults living with dementia, trauma, HIV/AIDS, Substance Use Disorder, and other concerns through its Connections program. During a Connections session, trained USF Honors College students, under the supervision of Museum staff, lead participant-centric conversations about the artwork on view. This program is on track to become one of the more extensive mental health and visual arts integration programs in the state. In 2016, the Museum developed the TMA Youth Council to work with a group of 12 high school students from Hillsborough County. This council organizes and runs student exhibitions dealing with everything from civility in politics to gender identity. And in 2020, knowing that many families are struggling with the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Museum is participating in Museums for All, a program to grant free admission to TMA for visitors who receive food assistance (also known as SNAP benefits). As the Tampa Museum of Art sets its sights on the future, continuing to partner with businesses and individuals will help the Museum grow a legacy of art and culture in Tampa that inspires and represents all members of our community.
