Another positive step in reviving  Historic Ybor City retail  took place when the newly re-opening of Hoffman Porges Art Gallery on 7th Ave.. The new owners had a Great Classy Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn cutting the ribbon and hundreds of city officials, businesses and residents attended and thanked the new owners, retired Air Force General David Scott and imaginative designer wife, Jill for re-opening an Ybor art stay for over 20 years.

Local and national artists have items in the gallery for display and for sale! “The layout changes weekly and we have over 6,000 sq. feet to fill.” Jill told us. “We are very happy on the welcome we are receiving.”

The new gallery is at 1907 East 7th Ave in Historic Ybor City.
