In an unprecedented year, communities need to heal, and art provides the unique and powerful opportunity to help us connect with each other and all humanity. Imagine going through the COVID-19 pandemic without the connections that art can give us to keep us challenged, motivated and hopeful. Our festival artists have been greatly affected by the pandemic, so we hope you will show your support to them by purchasing their artwork as you also reinforce our mission enabling those artists to do what they do best – inspire us all. Since our founding 51 years ago GFA has been a trailblazer and in keeping with that legacy we’re pleased to be the first fine arts festival to jury a virtual show and award prize money: $80,000 in total, including the $15,000 Raymond James Best in Show Award. We hope you’ll join us virtually as we announce the award winners live on Saturday, March 6th at 6pm. Planning for this year’s virtual festival has been an extraordinary effort that couldn’t have been possible without the dedication, passion and resolve of our members, all volunteers numbering more than 100. A special thank you to the families of our members for sharing them with us – we know how valuable their time is. We owe a great deal of gratitude to our title sponsor Raymond James, our many other sponsors, partners, and collaborators and especially the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County. Without their support, we would not be able to present such a high-caliber juried arts festival to the Tampa Bay area; and this Festival would not be at the top of each artist’s list for participation if not for the amazing reception they receive from our community and the many savvy art supporters who purchase and collect their artwork, aware of how prestigious it is to be accepted. Thank you for being passionate supporters of the arts and helping to sustain the livelihood of these professional artists. Our over 250 juried artists represent a range of artistic styles, mediums, and price-points. Those invited this year include a mixture of returning artists and artists exhibiting for the first time--we love having that blend of “familiar and new” which helps keep the festival fresh. We are also proud to show the work of emerging artists, special needs artists, and student artists as part of our mission of inclusion and support for a diversity of art and artists. Being a part of this Festival and interacting with our volunteers, artists, and visitors, whether from the local community or beyond, has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I and all involved in presenting the 2021 GFA hope you have a wonderful experience, this year from the comfort of your own environment, as you explore, get inspired, participate in artist Q&A’s, enjoy the entertainment, discover your inner creativity, become a collector, or whatever brings you happiness. Enjoy our virtual festival, as we look forward to seeing you in person again next year!

  • [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).

  • Protecting Our Wate R USF Researchers Find Solutions for Healthy Water Around the World First Look
    THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE of the USF ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SPRING 2017 UNIVERSITY of SOUTH FLORIDA System Protecting our Wate r USF researchers find solutions for healthy water around the world First Look 2 UNIVERSITY of SOUTH FLORIDA Photos: KATY HENNIG MA ’16 Photos: KATY FOSSIL RECORD TO PRESERVE THE HEALTH OF OUR WATERWAYS for the future, we must understand their past, says Professor Emeritus Albert Hine, PhD. To unravel the geologic history of Florida and Tampa Bay, Hine dug back over 700 million years. His surprising results have been documented in his book, The Geological History of Florida – the Major Events that Formed the Sunshine State, and an award-winning multi-media project, Tampa Bay Water Story, produced by Katy Hennig, MA ’16. “In one of our projects, we discovered buried freshwater lake sediments in Tampa Bay,” Hine says. “From about 20,000 years ago to about 10,000 years ago, Tampa Bay was partly a freshwater lake. The best record of early humans in Florida, what they ate and how they lived, is right there slightly beneath the seafloor of the bay.” Hine, who specializes in geological oceanography, collects and uses fossils to help tell the story of Florida’s land and water. “Our appreciation for beauty helps remind us of the importance of protecting our natural environment,” he says. PHOTOS: Albert Hine holds a fossilized tooth from a Megalodon, or giant shark, found in the center of the Florida peninsula. A fossilized Ammonite shell, an ancient geologic relative to the contemporary nautilus mollusc, reveals the beauty and patterns of the mathematical Fibonacci Sequence.

It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art Tamarind:Homage to Lithography Tamarind: Homage to Lithography Preface by William S. Lieberman Introduction by Virginia Allen 4- The Tamarind Lithography Workshop has almost single- handedly revived the difficult medium of lithography in the past decade. It has provided not only the materials but also the environment that fosters the delicate collaboration be tween artist and printer. Such an environment and indeed even the materials were almost nonexistent in the United States before June Wayne and the Ford Foundation agreed on the importance of providing them. Since Tama rind opened its doors in 1960 it has provided fellowships for numerous artists and printers, most of whom have con tinued their exploration of lithography after leaving Tama rind. The author describes this unique Workshop and also gives a brief history of lithography in Europe and in the United States. Included is a list which catalogs part of the promised gift to The Museum of Modern Art of the Kleiner, Bell and Company Collection of Tamarind Impressions. The author, Virginia Allen, former curator of Tamarind, is now Assistant to William S.

  • Cruise Planners
    Lori Sereikis [email protected] www.cruiseplannerlori.com 352-701-0085 TAMPA, FL OVERVIEW Introduction Tampa Bay, Florida, has much to recommend it: Busch Gardens (which predates Disney World), impressive museums, winning sports teams (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Rays and Tampa Bay Lightning), fishing charters and one of the country's largest ports, rocking nightlife and a wealth of tourist attractions. Tampa has sharks and rays at the Florida Aquarium and the more lovable manatees at the zoo. At Busch Gardens, you can ride across re-created African plains in a safari truck, stopping to hand-feed roaming giraffes. Or you can go to sea on a fishing charter and try to catch your own wildlife. In Ybor City, the historic Cuban neighborhood, you can amble down brick streets, following your nose to bakeries to buy fragrant loaves of Cuban bread or to shops where tabaqueros hand-roll fine cigars. Lively Spanish conversation might lead you to an old- fashioned domino parlor where grandfathers with gnarled hands gather to play in friendly neighborhood matches. Antiques shops, boutiques and art galleries beckon. After dark, the nightclubs throw open their doors, and Ybor City metamorphoses into a hip nightlife spot. St. Pete (the local name for St. Petersburg, Florida) is only a 30-minute drive away, and the gorgeous Gulf Coast beaches are about a 45-minute drive. The theme parks of Orlando, Florida, are about 90 minutes to the east. Sights—Check out the architecture, shopping and nightlife in Ybor City; spend a day (at least) at Busch Gardens; take in a Broadway musical at the David A.

From the thrill of major league sports to the authentic charm of Tampa’s unique history, the Epicurean is the gateway to exploring one of Florida’s most beloved destinations. With distinctive vibes and cultures emanating from each of the city’s districts, Tampa always surprises visitors with something new to explore and experience. While staying at the Epicurean, guests can expect anything but a generic hotel experience. The hotel’s well-connected Epicurean Hosts give adventurous guests an inside track for finding the area’s genuine and enriching local experiences. From “locals-only” restaurants and hidden shopping gems, to the best bike routes and museum exhibitions, a chat with the Epicurean Hosts will leave guests feeling as if they own the city. Guests don’t have to travel far from the hotel to experience more of Tampa’s premier dining, nightlife and shopping. Directly across the street, the legendary Bern’s Steak House is a destination all its own, where diners can tour the kitchen and wine cellar and pay a visit to the famous Harry Waugh Dessert Room. Bern’s sister restaurant, Haven, thrills foodies with whimsical small plates, housemade charcuterie, cultured artisanal cheeses, crafted cocktails and cellared wine selections.
