Event Description:
Join legal commentator Alexandra Darraby, founder of the Art Law Firm™ and author of Darraby on Art Law in a program featuring the dynamic impact of NFTs and appropriation on markets and collections, including Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, Andy Warhol and Prince, Hermes’ iconic Birkin bag, Gerard Genta’s heirloom watches –Patek Philippe’s Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Cartier and Bulgari—and rapper and tokenizer Lil Yachty, and more. Alexandra, 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, including topics like: What are NFTs, what are the facts and myths about the block chain, the ledger, the cryptocurrency trade, and “meta.”. How and why have NFTs triggered appropriation litigation across the country on claims of copyright and trademark infringement, publicity rights, unfair competition. How can individuals and institutions adapt to rapid change, expand community outreach in a virtual environment, increase membership when members increasingly rely on social media and the internet. How do museums re-envision their missions and what is the meaning of patronage in a world of the metaverse and NFT collectors. How do exhibitions and art education traverses bricks and mortar buildings to the digital universe. How does society act responsibly and equitably for populations that do not have the economics or resources to access next-level technologies?

This premiere will include a 5 minute segment at the conclusion of the performance to ask questions and learn directly from the artists and performers watching along with you!
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.
This collaborative performance featuring Homegrown New Music Ensemble occurred during the final month that Skyway 20/21 was on view at the Tampa Museum of Art.

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.

Thank you to our Pride & Passion: Vogue sponsors

TMA TMI Crit Group
2022-04-27 19:00 - 21:00, 2022-05-27 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.
