The Morean Arts Center's 100Th Anniversary JULY / 2017 ISSUE 45 The Morean Arts Center’s 100th Anniversary he Morean Arts Center, the first arts center south of Atlanta, is turning 100! Drawing inspiration from the past 100 years, the Morean has created and enhanced a variety of offerings to the community in the form of master artist workshops, elevated Tevents, classes in a variety of mediums, hands-on programs and the opening of the new garden space at the Chihuly Collection now located at 720 Central Avenue. The Morean Arts Center’s story started in the early 20th century when a group of local artists in need of a place to work, teach and display their art connected with the Florida Winter Art School. The Art Club of St. Petersburg – the first art gallery south of Atlanta – settled into space provided by the Florida Art School in their building on Beach Drive. As St. Petersburg and surrounding areas grew, so did the Morean Arts Center from its informal beginnings in 1917, to become an integral part of the country’s top arts destinations. After several relocations and name changes, the Morean Arts Center settled at its current location on Central Avenue. Today, the Morean offers programs for all mediums, styles, skill levels and ages housed in four locations in downtown St. Petersburg. The locations include the Morean Arts Center, Chihuly Collection, Morean Glass Studio & Hot Shop and Morean Center for Clay. At the end of a century of steady growth, the Morean Arts Center continues to provide a place for the arts in St. Petersburg. Staff, board members, artists, teachers and volunteers have witnessed the Morean Arts Center grow and become an institution where one can explore creativity and push boundaries. Curator of Exhibitions, Amanda Cooper, has seen the Morean grow in her nearly 20 years as a staff member. “Being part of the Morean means approaching art in a way that is challenging and exciting, yet not intimidating,” said Cooper. “If you’re a local artist, we will be your champion. If you want to learn a craft, we will teach you skills in a welcoming atmosphere. If you see something you love in an exhibition, you can buy it and own it forever (or at the very least, touch it without anyone slapping your hand away).” Cooper states, “The Morean has survived and thrived in this community for a century because it is a scrappy, risk-taking organization that adapts quickly to changing culture and the needs of the people we serve, all with a passion for art and a desire to share that passion with others.” So, this scrappy, risk-taking organization thanks you for 100 years of the arts in St. Petersburg and looks forward to 100 more.

  • Red Smith Wrote That Baseball Was a Dull Game Only to Dull Minds. in His
    Published November 3, 2007 at http://muchnick.net/HitmanReview.pdf Review of Bret Hart’s Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling By Irvin Muchnick Red Smith wrote that baseball was a dull game only to dull minds. In his sprawling autobiography, Bret Hart sets out to prove that the genre “pro wrestling literature” is oxymoronic only to oxymorons. And Hart succeeds. Despite its intimidating length, Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling (a runaway bestseller in Canada, not yet available in the U.S.) has a surprisingly high muscle-to-fat ratio. With the superb Have a Nice Day! , published in 1999, Mick Foley pioneered the picaresque wrestler’s memoir. But Hart, who doesn’t do goofy, is hunting bigger game. Inevitably, one turns to earthy details of mundane score-settling – both conscious and unconscious, both within the peculiar industry that defined him and within the even more peculiar Calgary-based clan that, for a certain population of fans, helped define the industry. Before getting to all that, though, it’s important to remark upon the sheer beauty of the prose in Hitman ’s best parts. Like his favorite writer, Mark Helprin, Hart occupies the border between phantasmagoria and realism. My favorite passages cover his foreign travels, during which he either reflects on the social conditions he observes there (Manila) or delights in lush landscape (Capetown). Domestically, you can all but smell the Alberta and Saskatchewan prairies; faithful depictions of hardscrabble life on the tundra, inside and outside the ring, make for something close to the Great Western Canadian Novel.

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.

  • BUILDING the Florida Suncoast Dome Ith Talk of a New Baseball Stadium, We Thought It Might Wbe a Good Time to Review How Today’S Stadium Was Built
    OCTOBER / 2016 ISSUE 51 BUILDING THE FloRIDA SUNCOAST DOME ith talk of a new baseball stadium, we thought it might Wbe a good time to review how today’s stadium was built. The story starts many years before the Devil Rays played their first Major League Baseball game on March 31, 1998. The road to baseball began in 1977, when Corinne Freeman, St. Petersburg’s first and only female mayor, was elected. The economy was stagnant and depressed. Several leaders started a campaign to bring major league baseball to St. Petersburg. Freeman not only jumped on the baseball bandwagon, she led the charge. To help, the Florida legislature created the Pinellas Sports Authority (PSA) and in 1980, funded it with $125,000 to conduct feasibility studies and to start a site selection process. In 1981, the PSA proposed three sites for a stadium: Gandy Boulevard east of 4th Street, the Carillon Parkway Area, and the Sod Farm (an area north of Gandy and west of I-275.) “Freeman knew a project like this was big and would have its distractors,” said David Fischer, Mayor from 1991 to 2001. “But she also knew a project like this had to be built with municipal bonds, and the laws concerning bonds to build stadiums were changing and actually would be coming to an end soon.” In February 1982, the City Council adopted an Intown Redevelopment Plan that established financing for the revitalization of four downtown areas including an area known as The Gas Plant. It was named for two huge cylinders that held the city’s natural gas supply, remnants of the municipally owned gas system built in 1914.
