Four Decades: PCCA Faculty + Alumni Exhibition Opens at Morean Arts Center
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla - The Morean Arts Center partners with Gibbs High School to debut Four Decades: PCCA Faculty + Alumni Exhibition on January 13, from 5-8 p.m.
This exhibition celebrates the major contribution the Visual Arts program at Pinellas County Center for the Arts (PCCA) has made to the art world, and specifically, to our community. In 2024, the Morean will host exhibitions featuring PCCA alumni, faculty and current students. These parts will work together to highlight the past, present and future of the program.
Back in August of 1984, the Pinellas County school district opened the PCCA at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg. A magnet program for artistically talented students, PCCA has fostered the talents of countless students who have gone on to do big things in the areas of dance, music, theater and the visual arts.
Since its inception in 1984, nearly 20 extraordinary artists have served as faculty members in PCCA’s Visual Arts Department. In addition to a full teaching schedule, these individuals participated in student exhibitions on weekends and evenings, and also created work of their own to exhibit in local and national galleries and museums. Each of these artists brought a unique aesthetic and specific skill set to the program. Much of the success of PCCA alumni can be attributed to these instructors and their commitment to the students.
Participating faculty:
Steve Beverage, David Bewley, Lauren Blackburn, Bede Clarke, Joyce Ely-Walker, Myron Hansen, Melissa Jo, Alan Johnson, Ted LoCascio, Marty Loftus, Brian McAllister, Stephanie McKee Zielinski, Laurance Miller, Yoko Nogami, Roxanne Pizzuto, Amber Quimby, and Dara Vance.
From the class of 1988 to the class of 2024, PCCA boasts numerous successful alumni who have gone on to do major things in the various art disciplines. Graduates are working as college professors, designers, architects, gallery owners, curators, as well as making and selling art. This exhibition will highlight current work by nearly 70 alumni from the Tampa Bay area and beyond.
Participating artists:
Jen Bacher, Leon “Tes One” Bedore, Pamela Bulu, Ashley Burke, Maria Calandra, Joey Clay, Indigo Regis Conat-Naar, Riley Corlett, Mia Culbertson, Sara Cherry David, Derek Donnelly, Zachary Endicott, Ora Fraze, Nicole Gauthier, Nichole Georgatos, Lilith Graham, Theresa Haberkorn, Rachel Hargrave, Vyolette Hastings aka 6ER, Chad Jacobs, Carrie Jadus, Reid Jenkins, Tony Jennings, Michelle A.
