This is an open call to artists and art collectives residing in Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties to submit applications for the exhibition, Skyway 2020: A Contemporary Collaboration. Selected artists will be presented at one of the four participating institutions: the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg; The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota; the Tampa Museum of Art; and the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa.

Artists working in diverse media and disciplines, including socially-engaged art and participatory projects, are encouraged to submit original artworks and project proposals. Submissions can include, but are not limited to, work on paper, painting, sculpture, photography, video, performance, sound, research-based art, and site-specific installations. Submissions can include examples of works and past projects that provide an overview of the artist’s practice.

Only original works of art completed after December 2017 will be considered for the exhibition.

Artists working in the field of social practice and community-based art initiatives are strongly encouraged to apply. Artists submitting such project proposals are required to provide a detailed work plan, including identifying the community or group they wish to engage, and a description and timeline of proposed activities.
