The artists featured in the 2026 presentation of Here and Now use everyday objects as a representation of self, home, and community. Two significant paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bradford, on loan from outside collections, anchor this iteration of Here and Now. Bradford makes abstract collages from paper, such as flyers and beauty salon end papers, to highlight identity, art history, and his neighborhood in LA. Collection artists Pepe Mar and Richard Stankiewicz create human-like forms from found objects to reference themselves and specific places. Additionally, Esterio Segura’s Hybrid of a Chrysler (installed outside on the
Breta Sullivan Terrace) and the Date Farmer’s Star Rider (featured in the hallway adjacent to the Ed and Ann Gessen Corridor) address migration in large-scale installations rendered from unique sources. Viewed together, the artworks exhibited in Here and Now offer intimate glimpses into the artists’s lives and personal journeys.

The Tampa Museum of Art’s permanent collection of art continues to grow at a feverish pace. Many recent acquisitions highlight art made by women who are celebrated both nationally and locally for their creative achievements. The exhibition Avant Garde: Remarkable Women in the Permanent Collection features recent additions to the collection with works by Selina Román, Ya La’Ford, Nneka Jones, Wendy Babcox, and Lorraine Genovar—all artists with roots in the Tampa Bay area. Avant Garde also features artists new to the museum’s holdings including Tao Lewis, Mika Rottenberg, Hannah van Bart, Kirsten Hassenfeld, and Quisqueya Henriquez alongside artists such as Alma Thomas, Niki de Saint Phalle, Marisol, Mernet Larsen, and Elisabeth Condon. Viewed together, Avant Garde: Remarkable Women in Permanent Collection will highlight the artists’ explorations of home, self, history, and womanhood through figuration and abstraction.
