The University of South Florida’s School of Art and Art History’s big Arthouse XXVI party includes open studios from artists like ceramist and multidisciplinary artist Varvara Tulina, Ghanaian mixed-media artist Enoch Appiah, image-based MFA candidate Patrick Michael Carew (from the 2026 Spring Arts Issue), and more.

The tunes around USF’s Contemporary Art Museum will be better than alright, too, thanks to a rare set by producer-drummer Chris Wood’s instrumental outfit Mestaurant and Tampa rock outfit Blonde Gentlemen. Rikinish, a DJ from Hyogo prefecture who now calls Tampa home, rounds it out in support of a new album, House Pigeon Vol. 2.

There’s no cover for Arthouse XXVI at USF School of Art & Art History in Tampa on Friday, April 3.
