New Mural Unveiled at MacDonald Training Center

This week, the Westshore Alliance celebrated the installation of our first mural funded through the Alliance’s Public Art Initiative. The mural, installed at MacDonald Training Center, celebrates the organization’s 70^th year of operations in the Westshore District. A special thanks to our partners at MacDonald Training Center, The Tampa Foundation and artist Anthony Freese for making this project a success.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to our first-ever Giving Tuesday campaign benefitting the Westshore District Foundation. We are excited to share that we raised $1,500 in 1 day for our Public Art Initiative! Thanks to your generous support, we are now moving forward with our next project at Children’s Cancer Center in early 2024. For more information on how to get involved with the Public Art Initiative, please reach out to Kevin O’Hare.
