"Francis Schwartz Soundstitching" Performed by: Cassia Kite & Homegrown New Music Ensemble
2022-01-23 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual Event, FL, United States
Join us virtually on our Youtube channel for the peremiere of a collaborative performance presentation featuring Skyway 20/21 artist Cassia Kite and Homegrown New Music Ensemble.
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.
Portraiture represents a new direction in Cassia Kite’s “soundstitching” art, in which she translates colorful images into musical compositions that may be performed by a musician or performing artist. In “Francis Schwartz Soundstitching,” Kite depicts Francis Schwartz, the avant-garde composer known for his interactive performances. Schwartz currently resides in Sarasota and is a source of inspiration for Kite. In this work, similar to her other soundstitching projects, Kite translates the composer’s likeness into a score using color, with each color thread representing a musical note.
This collaborative performance featuring Homegrown New Music Ensemble and Kite occurred during the final month that Skyway 20/21 was on view at the Tampa Museum of Art.

TMA TMI Crit Group
2022-01-27 19:00 - 21:00, 2022-02-27 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.

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.
