Ushering in New Year with New Mural

January 8, 2024 Art

2024 brings hope, change … and a vibrant new mural at our rotating art space! Painted by Tampa Bay artist Leo Gomez, this new art piece is bursting with color, emotion and positivity. The “You Warm My Heart” theme – written in English and Spanish – serves as a heartwarming message to all of the friends and families who visit UTC. Stroll through the West District, near Blaze Pizza and JPAN Sushi & Grill, and view this beautiful love letter to the community on display now through March. Make sure to snap a pic and tag us at #utcsarasota – it will warm our heart!
