Now in its fourth iteration, Skyway is a triennial exhibition celebrating the gamut of regional creativities and contemporary art practices flourishing in Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties. Originating as a collaboration among art institutions in the Tampa Bay area in 2017, Skyway has galvanized the artist community in the region, introducing artistic talents and vigorous practices to a larger audience. This year, Sarasota Art Museum proudly joins four other esteemed institutions: The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art (Sarasota), Museum of Fine Arts (St. Petersburg), Tampa Museum of Art (Tampa), and University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum (Tampa).
Sarasota Art Museum’s Skyway 2027: A Contemporary Collaboration is organized by Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design and curated by Lacie Barbour, associate curator of exhibitions at Sarasota Art Museum.
This exhibition is made possible, in part, with generous support from:
