The mission of the Tarpon Springs Public Art Program (TSPAC) is to enrich the community through art in our surroundings.

Public Art has a long history in Tarpon Springs. In 2007 the Tarpon Springs Public Art Committee was formed. Appointed by the City’s Board of Commissioners, the TSPAC administers the Public Art Program. Funding for Public Art in any city is derived mostly from a percentage of new building construction. Private donors can lend their support for a specific project or to match existing city funds. Grants also provide funding.

Current TSPAC Members: Joan Jennings, Graham Jones, Eleni (Beeba) Christopoulos, Nicholas Toth, Sonja McGrath, Dawn Arbetello, Katie Taylor

City Staff Support: Diane Wood, Megan McIntyre.

The Illuminated Art Box Project incorporates the latest solar-powered technology to provide the City of Tarpon Springs’ Sponge Docks with a captivating art gallery to enhance the visitor experience both day and night. The TSPAC selected forty works from a local “call to artists” out of more than 170 entries. Much of the original art is available for sale with contact information within this brochure.

The Tarpon Springs Public Art Committee hopes you will enjoy the inspirational gallery of art during your visit to our historic Sponge Docks.
