Partner Organizations

The International Council of the Tampa Bay Region has partnered with Meridian International Center to bring this photographic exhibition to the Tampa Bay Region – the only time the show will appear in Florida!  

The St. Petersburg Museum of History will provide the exhibit venue, and in partnership with the International Council, will host the exhibit from October 12 – November 21 this year.  

To highlight the exhibit, the International Council and SPMOH will organize jazz heritage lectures, host “jam sessions” with working musicians, and feature the “next generation” of jazz musicians from Tampa Bay colleges and high school music programs. 

The lead exhibit organizations will collaborate and partner with a variety of city and community interests and organizations. After exhibit expenses, net proceeds will go towards sustaining the International Council, the St. Petersburg Museum of History, and the Al Downing Tampa Bay Jazz Association. All three are non-profit organizations, and contributions in support of this exhibit are tax-deductible.
