"Direct/Indirect" by William Talenti
2026-03-23, 2026-03-21 | Atrium Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
“At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them.”
-Albert Camus
These six paintings (in the exhibit) concern pigment application and idea combination. I began each piece with a deliberate modality—Realistic, Abstract, or Non-Objective—pairing each with a “sister” painting on an opposing wall to serve as a formal counterpoint. Eventually, the rules dissolved, and I stopped following the recipe. An overlapping of my emotional state and the evolving surface of the paint occurred, allowing the content to find its own voice beyond the initial structure.
Direct/Indirect represents a deliberate unlearning of over thirty years of visual literacy. As both an educator and a painter, I am fascinated by how a personal artistic voice is constructed, refined, and—eventually—dismantled. By isolating the core elements of color, shape, value, and pattern, I converge figurative representation with the intuitive faculty of abstraction. These works seek the tension between what we see and how we think, emptying the familiar to discover what remains.
-William Talenti

"Give Thanks, Give Back" by Hanna Rachocka (Online Exhibit & Auction)
2026-03-23, 2026-03-22, 2026-03-21 | Gallery at Carrollwood Cultural Center, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa FL 33618
Give Thanks, Give Back by Hanna Rachocka is an entirely online exhibit and charity auction benefiting the Carrollwood Cultural Center. The exhibit and auction will close on December 31, 2026.
The collection is a series of ten impasto acrylic paintings by Hanna Rachocka that transform the traditional still life into an elemental exploration of emotion, weather, and inner fire. Each vessel becomes a metaphor for the human spirit—resilient in rain, tangled in thought, radiant in bloom, or aflame with creative force. Together, the works weave a narrative of resilience, paradox, celebration, and transformation, inviting viewers to reflect on the seasons and storms of the soul.
Each original painting is valued at $700 but available for a $375 donation. You can purchase each painting by donating directly to the Carrollwood Cultural Center. Paintings are available for immediate pick up once the donation is made. 100% of the proceeds will directly support the Center.

"Here and There" by Willow Wright
2026-03-23, 2026-03-21 | Alcove Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
Here and There displays a variety of landscapes that have intrigued me in the past several years in my travels up the coast of the U.S., along the coast of Portugal, near Tavira, and in and around the Tampa Bay area. The land and the light have captured my wonder, wherever I’ve travelled, and I endeavor to document the rich and varied environment we live in. If we don’t take care of it, it could be gone in under 100 years.

"Paradox" by Mike King
2026-03-23, 2026-03-21 | Corridor Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, FL, 33618, United States
What is a paradox? It is a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that, despite the gainsayers, has been shown to be a fact.
The bad treatment that Vincent Van Gogh suffered at the time, and now his paintings sell for hundreds of millions, underscores the meaning of “paradox.” My art show develops this theme of paradox by juxtaposing my realistic art with abstract images. I usually paint my realistic work in watercolor and abstracts in acrylic.
Abstract painting, unlike narrative or realistic work, does not tell a story. It just “IS.” One should look at the big picture first before dismissing the work. The art may be so surreal, strange, and mysterious that it is unknowable, but that’s OK. That’s why it’s called ART.

"Quilt Journey: Threads & Connections" by Cheryl Yellowhawk
2026-03-23, 2026-03-21 | Lobby Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
Quilt Journey: Threads of Connection by Cheryl Yellowhawk explores the star quilt as both a visual structure and a living story. Each painting begins with a traditional quilt pattern and unfolds into a contemporary expression through color, rhythm, and imagery drawn from the natural world. Butterflies, turtles, dragonflies, flowers, birds, and celestial elements appear within the stars, symbolizing transformation, endurance, guidance, and the interconnectedness of life.

"Metamorphosis on Seeing Surreally" by Kevin Cook
2026-03-23, 2026-03-21 | Art Corner Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, F, 33618, United States
“Through Her Eyes” by Kevin Cook
Metamorphosis explores the surreal terrain of the subconscious mind, where imagination outweighs knowledge and perception is freed from logic and reason. Seen through the artist’s eyes, reality is radically reconfigured, and meaning is fully open to interpretation.
Kevin Cook’s work was awarded Best in Show during the TESA member exhibition in 2025.

"The Color of Light" presented the The Gallery
2026-03-23, 2026-03-21 | Gallery at Carrollwood Cultural Center, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa FL 33618
The Color of Light is about how we see. Without light, we would see nothing, and most of the time, we think about what light allows us to see! But what happens when you look at the work of Joaquín Sorolla and John Singer Sargent? Both are masters of light, capturing its intense, fleeting effects” through their use of “bold brushwork, vibrant colors, and contrasts between warm highlights and cool shadows.” When you squint, the work becomes more than just a copy of what is in front of you. You start to actually see the light itself! The patterns and directional flow are so powerful! The work moves toward abstraction and design and has inspired me to suggest this show! I hope you catch fire as well.
Available to View: February 4 through March 28 (check Gallery hours) or online (see below)
Opening Reception: Friday, February 13, 5:30-7:30 pm

Jesus Christ Superstar
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Tim Rice

Directed by Paul Berg Music Direction by Latoya McCormick-Hutchinson Choreography by Evan Lomba
What’s the buzz? The first musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for more than 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events, but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus (Patty Smithey), Judas (Evan Lomba), Mary Magdalene (Jessica Hill), his disciples, his followers, and the Roman Empire.
The iconic 1970s rock score features well-known numbers such as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane.” A true global phenomenon, Superstar continues to touch new generations of audiences and performers.
Jesus Christ Superstar is sponsored by Thrivent.

Jesus Christ Superstar is presented through a special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Really Useful Group.
