PODCAST: The Future of Black Art in Tampa
A Conversation with Green Book Tampa Bay
In this episode of the Tampa Bay Arts Passport Podcast, Avery Anderson sits down with Hilary Van Dyke and Joshua Bean, the founders of Green Book Tampa Bay, to discuss why Green Book Tampa Bay shifted from a business directory to an arts movement.
The conversation explores how the organization began in 2019, supporting Black-owned businesses and evolved into a major force for Black artists in Tampa Bay through exhibitions, artist residencies, community events, and the Black Art Gala.
Hilary and Joshua also discuss the importance of creating space for BIPOC artists, building authentic community connections, and what’s next for Green Book Tampa Bay.
