The Tampa Bay Business Committee for the Arts (TBBCA) wants to know which local business and individuals you think have done the most for the arts and culture in Tampa Bay. Until Thurs., Sept. 4, at 5 p.m., TBBCA will accept nominations for its annual awards gala in October, when select patrons will be feted for their generosity and service. Past award-winners have included the Ellis-Van Pelt family (owners of the building that houses the West Tampa Center for the Arts), Tampa Museum of Art trustee Cornelia Corbett and Florida Museum of Photographic Arts co-founder Charles Levin. For more information about the awards or the nominating process, e-mail TBBCA communication director Christina Cook at christina.cook@tbbca.org or call 813-221-2787.
