Friday evening, November 2, GALA CORINA, Tampa’s annual arts extravaganza, presents iluminación, an eclectic array of contemporary works by local artists in the fields of visual arts, fashion and performing arts. This year’s show opens at 7:00 pm - 1am, Friday, November 2 and runs through November 9. The exhibit is located in South Tampa at 3965 W. Henderson Boulevard, near the intersection of Neptune and Grady Avenues (on Henderson next to Lauro’s and across from Wendy’s). The venue has been generously sponsored by Zerep Enterprises, Inc., which also operates the International Eye Center and Body Science Center.
If recent history proves true, opening night will again be a lively pARTy. Last year more than 4000 art lovers showed up to check out the work of new and emerging artists as well as established favorites. This year’s show, “iluminación” includes 155 artists—from tots to seniors—displaying a wide range of work: paintings, sculptures, photography and installations. Music and a non-traditional fashion show will add to the festivities.
This year’s show is truly a family affair, with parents and children, sisters, cousins and more participating in the exhibit. The Kroslak artists include three generations—grandfather, father and young son—plus mom Amy Kroslak, who is chairing the event.
There will be a small suggested donation ($5) at the door. Limited parking is available, so come early. |
