Re: “American Women at St. Pete’s MFA”
Got to see this exhibit at the recent FEAST event at the MFA - amazing! Women have been embarrassingly underrepresented in area museums. Sweenys' doing a great job of diversifying those exhibited - about time. And great job CL for pointing out their effort.
Re: “Giving spree: A look at crowd-funding and microgrants”
To be fair, Creative Pinellas does do some of its own funding - they do have $500 micro funding grants. And while that isn't as much as many traditional arts councils, they offer it much more often than other councils do.
Re: “Tampa Museum of Art: Forward and back with Romare Bearden”
Great piece about Bearden. Also glad you mentioned the TMoA's season - they've seriously been killing it lately
Re: “Farewell to the Globe”
JoEllen's been great. When I was organizing a zinefest I knew I could count on her and the Globe for help.
Re: “Syntax: The intriguing world of text-based art”
That's right - I'm tired of the beach scenes. I get it: we live in Florida. This show was very cool. A pleasant change. Not to mention that the previous Degas exhibit was really boring. I understand he's a big name w/ the impressionists. He's still boring.
Re: “Resolutions for a better art scene”
@Gene - Artists', gallerists', and art critics' influence in urban development has accounted for a more positive effect than somebody/anybody else's in St. Petersburg - something Tampa sorely needs.
If there is anything that reality demands it's that the Bay area does well to include the creative community in its urban planning.
