Last month, the Tampa Museum of Art announced that its new education center would be named the Vinik Family Education Center. This is in honor of a $5 million gift made by Jeff and Penny Vinik to the Museum’s $100 million Centennial Campaign for Renovation and Expansion.
The most recent gift by the Viniks for the education center is made in addition to a previous $5 million gift made in October 2019, bringing the family’s total contributions to the Centennial Campaign to $10 million. To date, including the Vinik family’s gifts, the Centennial Campaign has raised $71 million toward the Museum’s $100 million goal.
