Skyway Artist Talk: Joe Fig in Conversation

Join us in the galleries at the Tampa Museum of Art for a conversation with Joe Fig, an artist featured in the exhibition, Skyway 2024: A Contemporary Collaboration. Fig will discuss his art practice, focused on where art is made and viewed. These themes will be expanded on in conversation with Brittny Bevel, TMA's Head of Guided and Gallery-Based Learning.

Skyway 2024: A Contemporary Collaboration is a celebration of artistic practices in the Tampa Bay region, as it is a collaboration between five institutions: the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg; The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota; the Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design; the Tampa Museum of Art; and the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa. Working together, curators from each institution offer context for the diversity of art being made in Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties.
