Retro Beach Bash

beachbash

The Contemporaries was formed to build engagement among contemporary art enthusiasts with the Museum of Fine Art’s diverse programming, with a focus on supporting contemporary artists and exhibitions throughout the Tampa Bay area. “Our community’s interest in the contemporary art scene is something we want to encourage and be a part of,” says Museum Director Dr. Kent Lydecker.

The Beach Bash takes place the night of the Collectors Choice Gala, as the Collectors Circle celebrates their 20th Anniversary. With their generosity over the years, the Museum has been able to acquire over thirty major works of art for the permanent collection. The announcement of the Collectors Circle’s chosen artwork for 2015 will be made along with The Contemporaries in the Mary Alice McClendon Conservatory following the Gala.

Following the announcement, Los Angeles-based band SWIMM will take the stage. Comprised primarily of Chris Hess and Adam Winn, they write, record, and play live with several friends. Blending elements of dance music, rock n’ roll and shoegaze with psychedelia as the cohesive element, SWIMM will bring a beachy vibe to the party.
