СÓÅÊÓƵ

The exhibition gives СÓÅÊÓƵ students from any major an opportunity to display their artwork for the public. Pieces in the exhibition are in a variety of media, including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, ceramics, sculpture, digital media, animations and mixed media.

Each year, this student exhibition is juried and judged by an artist or curator who is not affiliated with СÓÅÊÓƵ. This year’s judge is Jessica Todd, a Tampa-based gallery director, curator, writer and artist originally from Northern Virginia. Todd has worked with several arts organizations since moving to Tampa in 2020, including Tempus Projects, Artspace Tampa Initiative, Crab Devil and the Morean Arts Center. She is passionate about building the creative infrastructures that support artists and studying and addressing issues of equity, access and inclusion in the arts. In October 2022, Todd opened Parachute Gallery — first an exhibition space for national artists, and now a boutique gallery representing local artists — in Tampa’s Ybor City.

Outstanding students included in this juried art exhibition will be selected to receive awards made possible by Friends of the Gallery, an organization that supports programming and exhibitions in the Scarfone/Hartley Gallery. Todd will announce the winners of these awards at a reception on Friday, March 15, from 6-8 p.m.

The gallery is located on campus at the R.K. Bailey Art Studios at 310 N. Boulevard. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and 1-4 p.m. Saturday. There is no charge for admission.
