Skyway 2024: 12 Ways of Looking at a Landscape
USF Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa

Skyway 2024: 12 Ways of Looking at a Landscape is USF Contemporary Art Museum’s contribution to Skyway 2024: A Contemporary Collaboration, a multi-venue exhibition that profiles the best new art in the Tampa Bay region. Other institutions participating in Skyway 2024 include The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, the Sarasota Art Museum, and the Tampa Museum of Art.
Skyway 2024: 12 Ways of Looking at a Landscape features artworks by Elisabeth Condon, Keith Crowley, John Gurbacs, Karen Tucker Kuykendall, Caui Lofgren, Bruce Marsh, Eric Ondina, Sebastian Ore Blas, Andrés Ramírez, Bradford Robotham, Erin Titus, and Susanna Wallin. Their artworks focus on a wide-open notion of landscape, invoking both the particularities of place and the universal ideas they provoke. Their wildly varied representations give sharp-eyed evidence of a common territory—the rich artistic landscape of a cultural region that has very much come into its own.  ADMISSION is FREE
