tampabaymuse.com officially launched
Tampabaymuse.com officially launches
on October 1st.
What: Tampa Bay Muse is a free Internet resource available to local
artists, musicians, galleries, venues and others to promote local culture in
the Tampa Bay Area( Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk counties). Our web
page includes an easy to use monthly calendar of events, as well as listings
for local artisans and local web pages.
Why: Tampabaymuse.com is the brainchild of local arts supporter/participant,
Vinnie Blesi, who tired of looking through three different print publications
and confusing, incomplete, and ad-laden websites to find out what was happening
in the Tampa Bay area. Yearning for a one-stop solution to this problem, he
decided to create tampabaymuse.com to fill this void. Tampa Bay Muse has two
goals in mind: to provide artistic support to the community and not put us into
bankruptcy.
What Can You Do: 1) Feel free to use our website to find local culture
and support it. 2) If you are a member of the local arts and music scene send
us your local events to submit@tampabaymuse.com.
During our testing period we have received positive responses from the arts
and film community, however the local music community has yet to embrace us.
Ultimately this page will be what the local community makes it in to. We would
love to see more local musicians/bands send us their events to list. If not
it will become a community to support the arts, theater and film in the area.
It is your call. 3) We will not deluge you with ad banners or pop up ads. The
only ads are a small column of text Google Ads. If you wish to support us you
can make a Paypal donation, buy a t-shirt(coming soon), or if you see a Google
ad that interests you please click on it. 4) Help spread the word. Let your
friends and enemies alike know that tampabaymuse.com is the place to find out
what is happening in Tampa Bay.. 5) We also have an Internet
radio station playing alternative music from the late 70's to now. If you
buy a VIP membership to live365.com from our web page we get $1.50.
Other Info: We would like to thank Oriannastudios
for her great logo and for working with us. Orianna is a talented local artist
who works in a variety of mediums from art to clothing. Many hours of learning
php code, experimentation, and testing have went into the creation of this web
page. Please support it and let us prove that the Tampa Bay Arts Community is
on par with other cities.
