Art of the Opera
 |
Opera Central / Opera Box Office
2145 1st. Avenue South
St. Petersburg, FL 33712
January through February 2027
Get ready, get set, create!Choose an opera as your inspiration. Lots of fun information online. Search the St. Pete Opera, New York Metropolitan Opera, San Fransisco Opera, Cincinnati Opera to name a few. There are also lots of modern operas to find.
Only sizes of work to be accepted will be 18”W X 24”H and 27”W X 40”H. Pieces will hang vertically. This is the outer dimension, so if you add a frame, the frame has to stay within these dimensions. The Committee looked at the space and decided to add size restrictions. This will also give you experience with other juried shows that have restrictions.
Your work can be any medium, it just has to fit the size dimensions.
Registration fee will be $20 for 1 or 2 pieces and will be juried. The Guild is responsible for the refreshments at the openings, and printing of postcards for marketing, that this fee will help fund. We also hope to display this body of artwork at other appropriate galleries.
This is preliminary information to get you started and updated information will be emailed and put on the website as the Show Committee receives.

MIND OVER MATTER
Opening Reception, Friday, Aug 26th
5:30-8:30
Curated by Jorge Vidal
Since our beginnings, wood and fiber have fueled our development by filling basic needs. With these needs met, artists look for new ways to manipulate materials. There is artistry in problem solving!
In “Mind Over Matter”, these materials and methods are advanced in unexpected ways by artists Dona Anderson, Emily Barletta, Erik and Martin Demaine, Jessica Drenk, Lisa Kokin, Christopher Kurtz, Polly Adams Sutton.
Also featured: Veiled Portal, a sight specific installation created as a collaboration by the members of the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild.
