Raymond James and the Arts
“Eagle Catcher”
by Vic Payne
We have a flair for art at Raymond James – it’s all over our campus. Predominantly the personally owned collection of Chairman Tom James and his wife Mary, The Tom and Mary James/Raymond James Financial Art Collection is one of Florida’s largest private art compilations and consists of more than 1,800 pieces including original paintings, sculptures and graphics (prints and posters). The collection is displayed on different floors of each campus building at the firm’s international headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Gasparilla Festival of the Arts
Raymond James is excited to be the title sponsor of the Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts. It's one of the top art shows in the country and brings the original works of several hundred artists from all over the world to Tampa Bay.
