ST. PETERSBURG — Artwork by Creative Clay member artists is on view at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art, 600 E. Klosterman Road, on the Tarpon Springs campus of St. Petersburg College.
Museum hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is by suggested donation of $10. The museum is closed on Mondays and major holidays. Additional information is available at leeparattner.org.
The exhibition, “A Mosaic of Color,” will remain on display in the Interactive Gallery through July 19. An opening reception will be held Thursday, June 4, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“A Mosaic of Color” features 49 works by 17 Creative Clay member artists, highlighting a vibrant range of perspectives and artistic styles. The exhibition celebrates the creativity and talent of artists participating in the St. Petersburg nonprofit’s inclusive arts programs.
Since 1995, Creative Clay has worked with individuals with disabilities to advance equality through art. The organization supports member artists in building full, inclusive lives through expressive, educational, and vocational experiences in the arts. Today, 62 member artists are enrolled in the program.
“This is Creative Clay’s first museum exhibition beyond museum shops, and we are honored to present our work in the Interactive Gallery at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art,” said Creative Clay CEO Kim Dohrman. “The museum is a local leader in supporting artists, with a strong commitment to showcasing regional work and creating a welcoming experience for visitors. Our member artists have visited many times and have always been warmly welcomed by the staff.”
The exhibition’s title, inspired by artist Scott McIvor’s painting “A Mosaic of Color,” reflects the way the member artists’ work comes together in one shared space. Throughout the gallery, visitors will encounter sharply observed portraits of birds and animals, tender scenes of barnyards and gardens, bold geometric color, dreamlike narratives set against impossible mountains, and quiet mixed-media studies. Each artist brings a distinct sensibility, palette, subject matter, and line. Visitors are invited to spend time with each work, discover what fuels each artist’s creative spirit, and experience the many facets of the Creative Clay community.
