ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. â This summer four Tampa Bay art museums are teaming up for one giant exhibit.
The name of the exhibit was originally Skyway 2020 but it had to be pushed back a year because of the pandemic, so now its Skyway 20/21.
âIâm somewhat astounded that all four museums have been able to reschedule this, and really work with the complexity and make this happen,â said Dolores Coe.
