Amanda Cooper, the Morean Art Center's Curator of Exhibitions, chose seven artists from more than 200 applicants. Only one hails from the Tampa Bay area: photographer Lance Rothstein lives in Clearwater.
Other artists include Alexa Velez, who works in photography and film in Jacksonville; J. Leigh Garcia, a Pensacola printmaking artist; Chad Steve, who lives in Tequesta and works in ceramics; Tenee' Hart, a mixed-media sculpture artist from Tallahassee; and Ericka Sobrack, a painter from Orlando.
The opening reception will take place during May's Second Saturday ArtWalk (May 11, 5 p.m.) at the Morean Arts Center (719 Central Ave., St. Petersburg), and, like all exhibits at the Morean Arts Center, is free.
