Tampa Bay business/culture nonprofit re-brands

The Tampa Bay Businesses for Culture and the Arts has announced its rebranding as the Business Coalition for the Arts (BCA), a move aimed at better encapsulating its mission to unite local businesses in support of the arts and culture. The organization plays a crucial role in fostering community engagement with the arts, which is pivotal for cultural and economic growth in the region. The rebranding comes as part of an effort to increase collaboration among businesses to bolster local artistic initiatives. Looking ahead, the BCA will present its annual Charlie Hounchel Art Stars Scholarship on April 10, 2025, which is a testament to its ongoing commitment to nurturing artistic talent in the Tampa Bay area. This scholarship not only supports aspiring artists but also serves to highlight the importance of the arts within the community.

The BCA's new identity is expected to resonate more effectively with stakeholders, enhancing its outreach and impact. With this change, the organization aims to inspire greater participation from the business community in cultural advocacy and support. The BCA's initiatives are particularly timely as the region navigates the evolving landscape of arts funding and community engagement.
