About Carrollwood Cultural Center

Carrollwood Cultural Center in Tampa offers visual art classes, dance instruction, music performances and gallery exhibitions across two buildings in Carrollwood Village. Visitors take enrichment classes in painting, ceramics and pottery at the main 26,000 square foot facility, which features a stage, dance floor and art studios. The center also operates The Studio, a sister building providing additional classroom and performance space. A integrated gallery surrounds visitors throughout the campus, displaying rotating exhibitions. The center hosts community events, theatrical productions and private functions in its conference rooms and banquet halls. It serves both children discovering artistic ability and adults of any age pursuing creative interests through performance, visual arts and hands-on instruction. Founded through a partnership between Hillsborough County and the Friends of Carrollwood Cultural Center, the venue opened in 2008 following renovation of a historic church building. The center operates with published administrative hours and a separate box office schedule.
