Things to do while in Ybor…

BRAD COOPER GALLERY

Brad Cooper Gallery will be featuring motorcycle themed artwork from Lory Lockwood September 10-18, 2004.

"Originated in 1984, Brad Cooper Gallery specializes in contemporary art by established, mid-career and emerging artists from the U.S. and abroad. Our original goal, still true today, was to identify and exhibit under valued artists, enhance their careers and collaborate to build their market. Many artists who began with the gallery were given their first solo shows and continue to exhibit. In 1990, in need of additional space, we relocated from the south of town to a larger facility in Tampa’s Historic District, Ybor City."
