Covivant

Head south on 2-way Florida Avenue and on your right, just where it becomes one way, is Covivant Gallery and Studios. Covivant is one of the coolest galleries in Tampa, starting with its building. This was formerly the Tampa Bay Bubble Gum Company and then the Seminole Cleaners. As you walk around you can still find residual elments left over from its commercial laundry days. the front of the building has two galleries, one large and one smaller, aloowing for two showes to run at the same time. Off to one side is the courtyard where bands occasionally play and films have been shown. In the back are ten artists studios.

The art is always interesting and cutting edge.

This Saturday June 11 is the closing for its annual fundraiser 100 Smacks show. All of the art is $100 or less. 50% of the sales go to Covivant, helping it do mundane things such as one year fixing a leaky roof and this year to add lighting. If you ever wanted art but could not afford it, here is your chance.

We have two pieces ourselves from one of the previous shows, that we bought each other as our anniversary gifts.
