Polk Museum of Art is pleased to announce its nomination for the Nickelodeon ParentsConnect Parents’s Pick Awards. The Museum has been nominated in the categories of Best Museum and Best Art Class for the Tampa area.

“We are thrilled that we’ve been nominated for Parents’ Pick Awards in two categories,” said Daniel E.

This nomination shows that our community thinks we’re doing a great job, and we are sincerely honored by this recognition.”
