 In 1996, The Florida Center for Contemporary Art (FCCA), a not-for-profit organization that once called Ybor City its home was struggling to reinvent itself in Downtown Tampa.The FCCA began by renting a space on the far north side of Franklin St. where it floundered under the debt it had inherited trying to survive in its Ybor City location.At this time a developer offered up free space at the old Crown Wig Shop further south on Franklin St., and the FCCA took the offer with new hopes of reinvigorating it’s vitality in the arts community.
