Mitzi Gordon’s Carmada—which brings art on wheels to public spaces via vibrantly painted, almost-always fully functioning cars—celebrates a 10-year anniversary with two Tampa events including this art car show on Seventh Avenue, between 15th and 17th Streets.

That’s the same two blocks that host Kress Contemporary, The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, Marcolina’s Fine Arts Gallery, and Drip Ybor. With DJ Donnie Luv spinning tunes, it’s an art block party in the making, with an organization that’s perennially embraced the Bay area’s most-up-and-coming and impactful visual creators.
