FMoPA World Photography Day special events

It makes sense that a museum dedicated to photography celebrates World Photography Day for a week. That’s the plan at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, which has special events and activities in the works August 19th-24th at Ybor City’s Kress Contemporary. 

Things get underway on World Photography Day, always celebrated August 19th, with pay-what-you-wish admission to the museum. The festivities continue on the 20th with 10 percent off purchases at the museum store and a free poster with each purchase. 

The 21st brings the inaugural FMoPA photo club happy hour. You can register for that here. On the 22nd, bring a camera, take a picture, and tag @FMoPA on social media for free museum admission. On the 23rd, there will be professional headshots by photographer Liberty from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The price with online pre-registration is $55.20 after fees. Day-of pricing will be available at the front desk. Things wrap up on the 24th with a photography scavenger hunt around Ybor City.
