Colors on the Walls with Pep Rally Inc.

Local art studio Pep Rally Inc. predicts a colorful future for Tampa

As Tampa continues to expand and become more diverse each day, one local art studio is uniting the city with visuals that speak a universal language. With projects in hot spots like Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park and Sparkman Wharf, Pep Rally Inc. has shown how public art can reflect a city’s personality and the people that live within its boundaries.

“Ripple Effect” at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park in North Hyde Park

“Murals can celebrate the history of a neighborhood, make a compelling statement or turn a insignificant wall into a destination,” Josh Pearson, the co-founder of Pep Rally, says.

Pearson co-founded Pep Rally Inc. in 2014 with the intention of creating work at the intersection of art, architecture and graphic design

When creating murals, Pep Rally translates the unique character of Tampa into different visual components. For the Sparkman Wharf art, iconic elements of the city — tobacco leaves, brick streets and waterways — were painted in vibrant colors as a reflection of the energy and history of Tampa.

The murals around Sparkman Wharf integrate Florida history, along with geographical and nautical elements in homage to the Port of Tampa

Pearson describes this work as a “love letter to Tampa.” As more businesses call the city home and more walls rise along the city’s streets, Pearson sees the growth of public art as inevitable.

Byron is also a self-taught photographer

“Public art is expanding because city leaders and private business are recognizing it as an asset,” he says. “We hope the artwork is a indication that the new future of Tampa is focused on the people.”
