St. Petersburg, Florida, July 10, 2006 -- The second set of Summer Exhibitions at the Arts Center opens Friday July 21, 2006, located at 719 Central Avenue in St. Petersburg. Three exhibits focus on the concept of time and its passage. The exhibits are as follows:
Ephemera: Annual Members' Exhibition
Synovus, Everett and Stanley Galleries
Arts Center member artists are challenged to create a work of art that conveys their perception of the passage of time, revealed either in the imagery, the technique and media, or the way the piece is perceived by the viewer. Over 250 works of art will be displayed.
Winners for Members' Exhibition will be announced at 6:30 PM
Project Creo: Ephemera
Progress Energy and Hough Galleries
Artists use media such as video, installation, and kinetic art to create works of art that are sequenced through time, that change as they are viewed, or that are ephemeral. Participating artists include: Wm Graef, NYC; Thomas Murray, St. Petersburg, FL; Lei Han, Asheville, NC; Brian DeLevie, Denver, CO; Michael Ryan, San Francisco, CA; Claudia Sohrens, NYC; Kristin Beal-DeGrandmont, Lynchburg, VA; and Haakon Faste, San Francisco, CA.
