Tempus Projects: Call to Artists Ybor City is a living archive shaped by migration, labor, resistance, and reinvention. Artists are uniquely positioned to reflect on and reinterpret these histories. Submit your work and contribute to this evolving love letter to Ybor City in Oh, Cuore Mia. Oh, Cuore Mia, is a juried exhibition exploring the past, present, and future of a historic district in constant transformation. Tempus Projects invites artists to submit work for this group exhibition, curated by Tempus with guest juror Jenn Ryann Miller. Oh, Cuore Mia—“my heart”—embraces the idea that the only constant in Ybor is change. This open call seeks works that engage the layered histories, identities, and lived experiences that continue to shape historic Ybor City neighborhoods. Rather than focusing on familiar imagery, we encourage artists to move beyond surface representations. This is not an exhibition about cigars, lamp posts, Cuban sandwiches, chickens, or flamenco dancers as tropes—unless they are approached through deeper, personal, or critical frameworks. We seek work that engages the forces, stories, and lived experiences that produced those icons.
 Eligibility & Media All media are eligible, including painting, photography, video, installation, performance, sound, text-based work, and interdisciplinary practices. Collaborative submissions are also welcome. Detail to Follow

#Repost @yborartstour with @use.repost ・・・ The best Ybor Arts Tour souvenir? It’s art, of course.. Plan a stop at Tempus Projects in Kress Contemporary tonight, where you can purchase one of a handful of George Lewis Jr., aka Twin Shadow, paintings in Cadet. Or pop into the Flash Gallery to browse unframed works on paper by more than 30 local and national artists. There’s something for every budget in Doodle Noodle, with artworks priced anywhere from $5 to $5000.
