Update from Parks: to clarify, the reported display is neither debris nor advertising, but an art installation intended to raise awareness for The Glazer Vision Foundation.

The Glazer Vision Foundation is a non-profit organization that "has been committed to full-treatment vision correction for underserved children by providing more than 100,000 free eye screenings and over 20,000 free pairs of prescription glasses throughout Tampa Bay." More information may be found on their website:

This artwork will be moved to and displayed in various locations throughout the City - the South Straub Park placement will last until March 15th.

The City is proud to partner with this organization at the St Pete Pier, and supports their efforts to raise funds for individuals who can't afford vision assistance.

We trust you now have a better understanding that this is not a place to buy glasses, however an organization that would gladly accept your generous support through financial donations. Thank you.
