Photographic Arts Museum Presents 10th Emerging Artists Exhibit

TAMPA, FL — The Florida Museum of Photographic Artsis inviting the community to view the work of outstanding emerging artists represented by the United Photographic Arts Gallery from Sept. 16 to Nov. 13.

Located next to the Sykes building on the banks of the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa at 400 N. Ashley Drive, Cube 200, Tampa, FMoPA showcases multiple styles of photography in an effort to portray the intricacies of the medium as well as enrich the community.

The founders of UPAG are active supporters of FMoPA and, over the years, developed a relationship with the museum's former executive director, Zora Carrier. In an effort to show dedication to its mission, FMoPA partnered with UPAG in 2013 to help display the works of up-and-coming and mid-career artists. Each artist experiments with his or her own style and flair, portraying a unique take on the medium.

UPAG supports the education and creative progress of its represented artists via an internet platform as well as on-ground exhibits in museums and galleries worldwide.

The mission of UPAG is to grow the medium of photography as an overall validated art form and to support other emerging artists in their artistic endeavors.

The 10th annual rendition of the gallery will have works from photographic artists throughout the U.S. and Europe. The pieces on view will cover a variety of genres and aesthetics, illustrating the current artistic trends of emerging artists.

The artists will hold an unveiling event on Sept. 16 from 5 to 7 p.m.

Museum hours are Friday from noon to 7 p.m. and Saturday through Thursday from noon to 5 p.m.

Admission is free for museum members; $10 for adults; and $8 for students, military and seniors.
