Selections for the Week of 2/22/2010
Spotlight on Student Surrealists
The Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg and Xpress Plugged In are pleased to present the winners of the Hillsborough County Student Surrealist Art Exhibit, a juried competition of Hillsborough County middle and high school art students. Through this exhibit, the Dalí Museum recognizes and celebrates the talent of Hillsborough County students and their art teachers. In anticipation of the new Dalí Museum opening January 11, 2011, this year's theme is "Home, Surreal Home." This theme invites students to reflect on the meaning of home from a dreamlike or irrational perspective, exploring new ideas as they employ creative methods and concepts inspired by Dalí, his surrealist contemporaries and similar visionary artists.
