It’s a busy weekend in Ybor City. Fiesta Day is on Saturday, and Tampa Art Week continues with many of the best exhibitions happening in the historic district.
At Honey Gallery located inside Kress Contemporary, Ryan Lagasse (pictured) presents “Momentum” (Thursday, 6 p.m.-10 p.m.), a collection of poppy, almost surrealist acrylic paintings on canvas and paper all “inspired by human connection, collective consciousness, and the abstract functions of the mind.”
On Saturday, a few blocks away at Hotel Haya as part of Hillsborough Community College’s “Now On View” presentation, the extremely-analog St. Petersburg-based FAX 727 289 3069 project has an installation that features poems from Tyler Gillespie, including “Donna Tampa,” an ekphrastic poem inspired by a cigar label.
Also on view at Hotel Haya is an infinity mirror booth floral installation from Tampa artist Kali Rabaut, who seeks to explore the city’s past, present and future through a floral lens.
Tampa Art Week continues through Saturday, Feb. 22 at multiple venues.
