TMA TMI Crit Group
2022-12-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Zoom, FL, United States
TMA TMI Crit Group
Select Wednesdays | 7-9pm, via Zoom
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.

Ages: 16 and up
Tuition: $4 Member | $5 Not Yet Member
Duration: 2 hours
Materials: Students will need digitized images of their artwork and a means to connect to Zoom meeting.

Sunday Sessions: Global Tapestries
2023-01-08 13:00 - 13:30 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
Global Tapestries examines the significance of fabric and textiles in works by Miguel Aguirre, Glenda León, Christopher Myers, Reynier Levya Novo, Yinka Shonibare, and Barthelemy Toguo. Shonibare and Toguo’s sculptures speak to textile history and socio-political links between Europe, Africa, and America. Aguirre and León create new artworks inspired by design and political events. Climate change and the legacy of quilt making inform Myers’ monumental tapestries.
Join Joanna Robotham, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, for a special series of three Sunday gallery talks highlighting the artists featured in Time for Change: Art and Social Unrest in the Jorge M. Pérez Collection. Featuring over 50 artists from around the globe, Time for Change looks at how artists explore conflicts and contradictions of contemporary society, as well as analyze historical events and reframes them within the present.
Sunday Sessions are offered free with regular admission

An additional Sunday Session is scheduled for February 12, 2023.

Antiquities Circle Lecture: Dionysos between Osiris and Christ
2023-01-15 15:00 - 16:00 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
Join us for an Antiquities Circle lecture related to the exhibition, Life & Death in the Ancient World, presented by Dr. Robert Steven Bianchi.
The relationships between Dionysos and that of both his links with the earlier cult of Osiris and with his later associations with Christian theological tenets are often highly contested issues. The arguments in favor of supporting such connective tissues often rely solely upon visual representations which seemingly support the premise. This fully illustrated lecture, after reviewing such positions, calls into question the validity of the exclusive use of art historical data in an effort to define intercultural connections. The lecture then passes in review the relevant literary sources, which when considered in conjunction with the art historical evidence, casts the question of those relationships into a completely new light.
Dr. Robert Steven Bianchi is currently the chief curator of The Ancient Egyptian Museum Shibuya, a district of Tokyo, Japan. Widely traveled and extensively published with 388 journal articles and book reviews and 97 books appearing to date, he has already appeared as a principal in 120 television telecasts worldwide. He continues to collaborate on a number of academic publications with Branko van Oppen de Ruiter, our museum’s Richard E. Perry Curator of Greek and Roman Art. Over the years, Dr. Bob and his wife Anna have supported the TMA and have enriched its collections with the donation of several antiquities.
This lecture is sponsored by Charles Stanish & Garine Babian.
Lectures are offered free with regular admission:
