After being postponed due to coronavirus, Tampa Bay’s popular “Skyway” art exhibition returns this weekend with the Saturday, May 22 kickoff at the MFA St. Pete where the show will live until August 22 (separate, shared and collaborative exhibitions open at Sarasota’s Ringling Museum of Art, the Tampa Museum of Art and USF CAM in June).
For the project, curators from each institution selected 49 artists from Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas, and Sarasota Counties; work from the 15 artists the MFA chose address, in various ways, our Floridian reality “where hurricanes, flooding, and erosion are very real threats.”
The MFA’s COVID-19 protocols include limited-capacity and encouragement, but not a requirement, for visitors to wear facemasks; staff is still wearing masks inside.
