The Chamber and LTA team up to help MacDonald Training Center


The Chamber and Leadership Tampa Alumni have come together with the MacDonald Training Center (MTC) "to empower people with disabilities to lead the lives they choose." MacDonald Training Center has served adults with developmental disabilities throughout the Tampa Bay area since 1953. In 2006, MacDonald Training Center expanded its focus by opening a Fine Arts Studio. Currently, over ninety adults create imaginative and beautiful works of art in studios in Plant City and Tampa. Many of the artists sell their works and have developed recognizable, individualistic styles. 

We have six pieces of art displayed in the Chamber available for sale to anyone. The pieces range from $60- $195. Read more >>
