Emerging Artists To Be Highlighted At Dec. 4 Event At The Dali

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — On Wednesday, Dec. 4 from 6 to 9 p.m., The Dalí Museum’s Zodiac Committee will present Dacota Maphis and Daniel DeWindt / Expressions by D&D as one of the 12 featured artists in “The Dalí Dozen, 12 emerging Artists to watch in 2019."

This annual event celebrates and supports the Tampa Bay arts scene by hosting 12 up-and-coming artists in the region. Each artist was selected by the Zodiac Committee members and invited to display during the exclusive event. Museum members and guests are invited to the one-night event featuring photographers, oil painters, sculptors, burlesque performers, jewelers and glass artists.

DeWindt has mastered his own style of realistic expressionism in oil and Maphis has created a surreal world with her unique digital art, which starts with a photograph then is morphed into something completely different.

During this year’s event, they will be painting live. Taking turns on one canvas, they will show how they use their very different life backgrounds and art disciplines to turn paint into words.

In July, they were selected to paint live at the Glazer Children Museum as part of the Tampa Mini Maker Fair.

Members may also peruse the many new products in the Museum Store and receive a 25 percent discount during The Dali Dozen. Tickets to the event are $18 per person and available to Dalí Museum members and their guests on TheDali.org. The Dali is located at One Dalí Blvd.
