Spend your Sunday immersed in art and nature! This unique program invites visitors to embark on a journey that celebrates the awe-inspiring beauty of nature and the role it plays in sparking human creativity. Begin the afternoon at the MFA with a guided docent tour of the collection galleries, looking closely at artworks from throughout history and across the globe that were inspired by nature. From majestic landscapes to delicate still lifes to ancient sculptures, each artwork highlights the deep connection between artists and the natural world.
The experience continues at the St. Pete Pier, where you’ll board a sunset cruise with Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center’s expert marine science educators. Enjoy guided wildlife watching, a visit to a local bird sanctuary, learning about our area’s history, and the beautiful scenery as the sky changes colors over the downtown skyline. There will be optional opportunities to get creative, with all supplies provided, and you’re encouraged to express your inspiration from the experience.
This partnership highlights how each of us contributes to protecting Tampa Bay and the environment as a whole. By showcasing the artistic and ecological importance of our region, we aim to inspire a greater appreciation for nature’s beauty and encourage a lasting commitment to its preservation for future generations.
