As if you needed another reason to check out the work at the Museum of Fine Art in St. Petersburg... but in case you did, here's one more: Benny Andrews.
Don't know the name? You should, and after this exhibit, you will. Andrews was a gifted artist, but he also was a tireless advocate for social justice. There's a lot to the man's body of work, both on the canvas and off. In addition to his art, he was a founding member of the Black Emergency Cultural Council. Learn more about him at the exhibit, but first, take a look at the oil paintings, a sampling of what to expect.
Benny Andrews: Mix Master | Museum of Fine Art, 255 Beach Dr. NE, St. Petersburg | Through Aug. 26 | Included with admission; free for members | 727-896-2667 | Learn more
