Rumors of a Sarah Jessica Parker-produced reality TV show think Project Runway for visual artists have finally been confirmed, and a round of regional casting calls held over the next two weeks will determine the series' first round of participants. Aspiring Tampa-based contenders can head to Miami for next Tuesday's try-outs at Fredric Snitzer Gallery in Wynwood. Just fill out the 23-page application (actual question: What annoys you about other artists?) and prep your portfolio (including any original artwork that is easily transportable).
The application warns that contestants will need to have a current passport and submit to all medical and psychological examinations deemed necessary. So bring the drama, but leave the crazy at home.

If I know my Bravo reality shows, those psychological tests are not being used to weed out the crazy, but to insure the crazy stays in. Anyone have any nominations for which local artists deserve to represent Tampa Bay? Or how about some ideas for an all-Tampa/St. Pete cast?
