FMoPA. Say it with me: fuh-moah-puh. As far as acronyms go, it’s my favorite (but don’t tell the others, ‘cause they’ll get jealous). FMoPA stands for Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, and photography (if the name doesn’t clue you in) is their thing. As in, only nine other museums in the country do this. What does that mean for you? It means when FMoPA announces a new show, you should go, because what they deem some of the best photography really is some of the best photography. New Visions 2016: An Examination of Landscapes from Disparate Points of View, open now at FMoPA, has work from two celebrated local photographers, Maria Bevilacqua and Amy Martz. The exhibut name’s self-explanatory. Sort of: Which two points of view? What sorts of landscapes? Well, micro and macro and everything from landscapes to cityscapes. The bodies of work on exhibit deal contradict and complement, both within each artist’s work and one another. Head over Friday, when they’re open until 7 p.m., or on Sunday, when you can take a docent-led tour at 2 p.m.
