A Different Frame of Mind The USF Contemporary Art Museum is accepting proposals from artists for an experimental project: A Different Frame of Mind As part of ongoing efforts to find new methods for sharing resources and creative capital with the community, USFCAM is inviting artists to create works specifically designed for used (but still fully functional) fine art frames. In addition to the recycled frames, USFCAM will offer selected artists studio space in public galleries to use while creating the new works. Artists may propose projects that incorporate at least one recycled frame, whether used as a traditional frame or as raw material for more expansive projects. There are 100 available frames ranging in sizes from 18”x14” up to 52”x72”. There are a limited number frames with the same dimensions available for artists that wish to propose a suite of works. The call for proposals is open to regional artists over 18 working in any media including painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, video/film, audio, digital/graphic art, performance-based, and social practice. Artists working together as collaborators or collectives are also welcome to apply. From March 20 to April 17, artists planning to submit a proposal are welcome to set an appointment to come to USFCAM to see the frames that are available. Please email the curator of the exhibition, Vincent Kral, at [email protected] to set up a meeting. From June 9 to June 17, the USFCAM West Gallery will be transformed into studio space available for the selected artists to work, with the public invited to witness the creation of these new works. The process and development of each piece will be documented until the works are completed. On June 18 and June 19, USFCAM will host framing and art hanging workshops as new works are closed into the recycled frames and put on display. On June 20 the studio space will then revert to a gallery space for the duration of the exhibit. USFCAM will host a closing reception on Friday September 5, 2014. At the close of the exhibition, all art works and frames will be given to each respective artist. Completed proposal applications must be submitted by email to both [email protected] and [email protected] no later than 5:00pm on April 18, 2014. The selection committee consisting of Vincent Kral, Tracy Midulla Reller, and Taylor Pilote, will review project proposals, and selected artists will be notified on April 30, 2014.

  • [email protected] Theo Wujcik: Cantos
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lashonda Curry 727-896-266, ext. 236 813-447-1752 (c) [email protected] Theo Wujcik: Cantos Brings to Life Epic Literary Work A series by the late, prominent Ybor City artist features larger-than-life paintings inspired by Dante’s Inferno ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 29, 2019) – One of Tampa Bay’s best-known artists, Theo Wujcik (1936-2014), spent a decade creating a series drawn from the dark and profound literary classic, Dante’s Inferno. Now, those extraordinary paintings are the theme for Theo Wujcik: Cantos, a special exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg and inspired by two works in its collection. Gates of Hell (1987) and Canto II (1997) are centered around Inferno, the first part of the epic poem Divine Comedy by Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). The painting Gates of Hell was acquired by the MFA in 2017, but has never been publicly shown at a museum in the Tampa Bay area until now. Other art institutions that own Wujcik’s work include the Art Institute of Chicago; Detroit Institute of Arts; Museum of Modern Art, NY; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is on view April 13 through June 2, 2019. Addressing select cantos from the poem, the 10 paintings on view—many of them epically scaled— range from 1987–1997, and showcase Wujcik’s literal and symbolic interpretation of the captivating journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. Many artists have been inspired by the moral drama of Dante’s Inferno, including English poet and painter William Blake (1757–1827) and French illustrator Gustave Doré (1832–1883).

  • Full Arts and Economic Prosperity III Study
    Arts & Economic The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts .rMI Culture Organizations and Their Audience From the iconic images of the Florida Highwaymen to the museums that preserve and collect our history, arts and culture define us. They improve quality of life for Floridians and visitors to our state. The arts and culture inspire creativity and lifelong learning, build strong communities, and build a strong network for leadership that encourages a stronger Florida. The findings of The Arts and Economic Prosperity III reveal that, in addition to these innumerable benefits, arts and culture bring economic vitality to our state. This study reveals that the cultural industry is important to economic prosperity. In Florida, arts and culture mean business. With more than $3 billion in total direct expenditures into the Florida economy in 2008, arts and culture are sound investments in Florida’s future. In the pages to follow, you will read about the many ways that arts and culture are good news for those looking to strengthen Florida’s economy. Leaders in Florida are supportive of arts and culture because they have helped to bring new businesses and ventures to our state. In today’s competitive global marketplace, arts and culture can play an important role in attracting high-wage jobs and a creative workforce. The Arts and Economic Prosperity III expands that notion. Not only can the cultural industry play its important part in attracting business critical to economic recovery, this industry contributes directly to economic activity, supports jobs, and returns revenue to local and state government. The return on investment number speaks for itself.
