Legacy of Artist Arnold Martinez Sr. | The Art of Coffee, Tobacco & Wine

Celebrate the life, work, and legacy of Ybor City artist Arnold Martinez Sr., whose work captured the spirit, traditions, and everyday beauty of a historic community.

Join us for Celebrating the Legacy of Artist Arnold Martinez Sr., an evening honoring the stories, people, and cultural influences that inspired his work.

The evening begins in the historic theatre with a special conversation featuring Arnold Martinez Jr., sharing personal reflections, stories, and insight into his father’s life, artistic vision, and lasting impact on Ybor City’s cultural landscape. Following the program, guests will enjoy a gallery experience featuring a curated collection of Arnold Martinez Sr.’s artwork on display, with works available.

Enjoy music, drinks, and light bites as you experience the artistry and traditions that shaped his work. This special evening takes place on the opening night of baseball — a subject deeply reflected in Arnold Martinez Sr.’s work — with several special pieces on display in tribute.

This is Ybor City — its history, its artistry, and its legacy.
