An art exhibit featuring works by artists from the Green Book of Tampa Bay will debut at the St. Pete Arts Alliance’s second Saturday Art Walk on Saturday August 14. The exhibition will run until September 11, when there will be gallery opening hours and a closing reception. .
The Tampa Bay Green Book is a Directory of Black Owned Businesses which serves Pinellas and Hillsborough County. We help people concerned about inequity in their community be intentional in how they spend their money. In addition to promoting black-owned businesses, the directory promotes black artists as well as historical and cultural sites.
Green Book of Tampa Bay supports local black-owned businesses
Hillary Van Dyke and Joshua Bean began the directory as a nod to the Jim Crow-era guidebook that safely pointed black travelers on places to eat, visit, and stay. The couple launched the directory in 2018 and have since championed black-owned businesses across the region.
The business directory has introduced us to some of our favorite restaurants in the area.
A few businesses to celebrate include Good barbecue to lick Al’s fingers, Haitian cuisine Bon Zanmi, Grandma’s Cakes by Moe, Flavors and flavors of the islands, Pattye cakes, and Pizza Toriano. Honestly, it’s not even scratching the surface.
