PAUL JENKINS: FROM AMERICA’S HEARTLAND TO AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNEY
Art+ Member & Patron Virtual Collectors’ Chat
Wednesday, February 23rd | Zoom Webinar | 5pm-6pm
Art+ Members and Patrons are invited to join us for a Virtual Collectors’ Chat with Preston Haskell, Abstract Expressionism Collector and Founder of The Haskell Company, in conversation with Joanna Robotham, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at TMA.
Paul Jenkins (American, 1923-2012) represents the legion of Abstract Expressionist artists who altered the landscape of modern art. Jenkins found inspiration in his journeys around the world, particularly time spent in Japan. He is celebrated for his unorthodox approach to paint application. In the early 1950s and throughout his life, the artist worked with controlled paint pouring. This method allowed him to create layers of translucent color as well as render stark contrasts between light and dark. This exhibition, drawn from the holdings of the Haskell Collection in Jacksonville, Florida, and the Jenkins Estate in New York City, looks at the evolution of Jenkins’ art from his large-scale paintings to works on paper. The exhibition will demonstrate how Jenkins’ groundbreaking techniques helped transform post-war painting.

TMA TMI Crit Group
2022-02-27 19:00 - 21:00, 2022-03-27 19:00 - 21:00 | Zoom, FL, United States
Virtual Group Critiques the last Wednesday of every month, Zoom, 7:00-9:00p
Are you an artist in the Tampa Bay area who wants to meet and discuss the work of other local artists? Are your artistic intentions the same as what is perceived in your work? Are you looking for ideas about how your work can improve? Join us for the TMA TMI Virtual Crit Group, a monthly series of virtual group critiques presented by the Tampa Museum of Art over Zoom.
As a group of artists we will spend each session of TMA TMI looking at and discussing works of art from each participant. Discussions will focus on our observations and interpretations of each other’s work, and what we all think is working in each piece. There is also time for viewers to ask questions of the exhibiting artist, as well as time for the artist to direct the discussion and solicit constructive comments about aspects of their work that could benefit from a different approach in technique or thought.
DON’T BE NERVOUS! This is a positive and supportive meetup of emerging, mid-career, and later-career artists, practicing active and imaginative looking, leading to objective description and analysis backed up by things we are seeing. We will not criticize your drawing ability or choice of subject. What we will do is focus our attention on works of art for usually around 20 minutes per artwork, describing, analyzing, and discussing what we are seeing. As an artist you will be engaging with the work and ideas of other local artists, and will receive valuable takeaways from hearing how other artists see and interpret your work.

For each session, artists are asked to prepare photos of 1-2 recent, finished works of art. To help those who have never experienced a group critique, or if it’s been a while since you participated in one, participants will also be emailed a printable handout of possible questions that you can apply to any work of art we discuss this week. The conversation will be moderated by artist and Tampa Museum of Art Studio Programs Coordinator Anthony Record.
You can prepare as many photos of details as you wish, but be sure to have one high quality photo of the overall piece as the main photo. Participants will show their work by sharing their screen.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. All media are welcome and encouraged.

AIA Lecture: Hellenistic Sealings from Ptolemaic Edfu (Egypt)
2022-03-01 18:00 - 19:00 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
The collections of the Allard Pierson Museum, Amsterdam, and the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, each own half of originally about 800 clay seal impressions said to be found ca. 1905 near the Horus Temple at Edfu, Upper Egypt. Among them are some of the most important Ptolemaic non-numismatic royal portraits, apart from the Nea Paphos hoard; in addition, themes from Egyptian and Greek myth and religion appear in interesting imagery; other depictions include animals, plants and objects. This talk will give a brief overview of the ongoing research, as well as international efforts to digitize Hellenistic sealings for an open-access overarching platform to make these seemingly dull and grey artefacts accessible to the specialists as well as the interested general public.
This event, organized by the Archaeological Institute of America – Tampa Bay Society, is open to the public and is free for members of the AIA.

Speaker:
Katherine “Katie” Jentleson, PhD, is the Merrie and Dan Boone Curator of Folk and Self-Taught Art at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta. Her most recent exhibitions, Gatecrashers: The Rise of the Self-Taught Artist in America and Really Free: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe, opened to the public in Atlanta in fall 2021 and began national tours in 2022. Since joining the High, she has overseen more than half a dozen exhibitions and grown the collection by more than five hundred objects, including major acquisitions of work by Thornton Dial, Lonnie Holley, the Gee’s Bend quilters, and Henry Church, many of which debuted in the newly expanded and thematically integrated Folk and Self-Taught Art galleries as part of the Museum’s 2018 reinstallation. Her exhibitions and collection-based initiatives have been awarded major support from Bank of America, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Art Bridges Foundation, and the Dorothea and Leo Rabkin Foundation.
Before she became a curator, Dr. Jentleson worked as an arts journalist in New York. Through her editorial assignments and general experiences at galleries and museums there, she discovered her passion for self-taught artists and their historical legacy in the United States. In 2010, she began her graduate studies in art history at Duke University, where she focused her research on the rise of self-taught artists during the interwar period. During her graduate career she received awards and fellowships from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Archives of American Art, and the Dedalus Foundation, and she contributed research and writing to exhibitions at the American Folk Art Museum, the Ackland Art Museum, the Nasher Museum of Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and Prospect.3 New Orleans. Dr. Jentleson adapted her dissertation into a peer-reviewed book Gatecrashers: The Rise of the Self-Taught Artist in America (University of California Press, Spring 2020) and the High Museum of Art’s 2021 exhibition of the same name.

Event Description:

The Tampa Museum of Art presents a Lawyers for the Arts program with Art and Law Lawyer Alexandra Darraby. The presentation geared towards lawyers and art enthusiasts will focus on NFTs, the metaverse, copyright, and technology.
Neither technology nor culture is new nor modern. But entertainment and luxury goods are in a digital ascendance in the form of Non Fungible Tokens. Alexandra Darraby, founder of the Art Law Firm®, former gallery owner and law professor, describes the connectivity of tech and culture based on recent cases shared from her newest book on arts & technology, excerpted here: “The metaverse is the new virtual and visual frontier, a user- interactive digital environment based in computer-generated spaces of augmented and virtual realities, NFTs and cryptocurrency. These are ether worlds in which visual imagery predominates. Virtual reality thus impacts—and challenges–traditional bricks and mortar interactions, judicial administration and
attorney-client engagement. Technology upends categorizing legal claims, interpreting traditional statutory terms; re-evaluating demographics for litigation and juries, and impacts the meaning of societal and legal community engagement.” Join legal commentator Alexandra, author of Darraby on Art Law, in a program featuring the dynamic impact of NFTs and appropriation on markets, collections and legal practice, including Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, Andy Warhol and Prince, Lil Yachty, heirloom and iconic brands like Hermes, Patek Philippe, Cartier and Bulgari, and more. Presentation includes how and why have NFTs trigger appropriation types of litigation on claims of copyright and trademark infringement, publicity rights, unfair competition and how lawyers and law firms might ethically and responsibly advise clients in a climate of rapid change and inconclusive adjudication.
Specific Topics:
1. A description and explanation of facts and myths about NFTs, block chain, digital ledger, and cryptocurrency
2. A critique of using “meta” as a mark, the metaverse, and the cases on infringement
3. The relationship between on the one part, appropriation, and on the other, infringement in copyright, trademark, and publicity rights.

Tune to the Tampa Museum of Art’s Youtube Channel on April 6th at 7pm!
Skyway is triennial celebration of artistic practices in the Tampa Bay region. Working together, curators from four different institutions including the Tampa Museum of Art, highlight the diversity of art being created in the Central Florida region.
Jaime Aelavanthara and Amanda Sieradzki’s multidisciplinary project Blueprint/Redbloom draws inspiration from dance, visual art, and poetry. Each cyanotype features the silhouette of a figure gracefully moving through space. Marine plant elements, such as seagrass and kelp, suggest both the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast, as well as its susceptibility to toxic algae blooms and red tide.

Pride & Passion: Vogue
2022-04-09 20:00 - 23:59 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
Pride & Passion: Vogue is SOLD OUT!
Prepare to werk, slay, and strike a pose at the Tampa Museum of Art’s Pride & Passion: Vogue, a Glamour Ball, inspired by the allure of the golden age of Hollywood and the effervescence of the LGBTQ+ ballroom culture.
Join us for an elegant evening full of lively music, eye-catching dance floor performances, mouth-watering treats from local restaurants, and a premium open bar.
Now in its 16th year as a favorite “must-attend” Downtown Tampa event, Pride & Passion celebrates Tampa Bay’s diversity and the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community to arts and culture. It’s befitting that the money raised for this signature fundraiser supports programs at the Tampa Museum of Art that reduce barriers to admission, create safe places for people to experience the arts, and celebrate local talent.
Pride & Passion: Vogue co-chairs Marvin Meeks and Lillian Chor Florin

About Pride & Passion
The LGBTQ+ community plays a significant role in the artistic and cultural fabric of Tampa Bay and around the world. The Tampa Museum of Art holds Pride & Passion each year in collaboration with the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to be vocal in celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion. When Pride & Passion started in 2006, TMA was one of the only organizations in the Tampa Bay area that was not an exclusively dedicated LGBTQ+ entity to hold such a community awareness program. We believe that the values that Pride & Passion represents are important now more than ever in preserving past victories and making new strides towards equity and equality.

History of Pride & Passion at TMA

The Tampa Museum of Art works closely with METRO Inclusive Health to provide supportive spaces, museum tours and lead art making sessions for LGBTQ+ youth.

Without fundraisers like Pride & Passion, a museum ticket would cost around $80, instead of $20! Pride & Passion plays a big part in helping share the arts with our community.
Funds raised from Pride & Passion even help pay the operational costs of keeping the museum up and running. (Like keeping the lights on!)
Teen Open Studio is a free program offered by TMA that gives teens in grades 6-12 the opportunity to create alongside local working artists and learn about careers in the arts. (You guessed it… Funds from Pride & Passion make this free program possible too!)
Funds raised from Pride & Passion also help provide free online education programs like Start With and Art Spot Online! With downloadable lesson plans for teachers and parents, these videos help share arts education with our community.
