Vincent J Kral invited you.
GO FIGURE: A New Approach to Figuration


Nostalgia, time and memory are concepts of keen interest to artist Ville Mehtonen. By combining abstraction with figuration, his work blends the familiar with the surreal and forces his audience to reexamine an image's origin.

The St. Petersburg Arts Alliance Celebrates Artistic Inspiration with MUSE@MFA, our inaugural pARTy on Friday, January 31st at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, Florida to pay tribute to those who influence the vibrant artistic culture within our community.

No stiff tuxes – no boring speeches. This creatively charged benefit will ask the question, “Who inspires your creativity?”

During MUSE@MFA, guests will be immersed in a pARTy, infused with the premiere of an interactive digital art exhibit from sponsor, HD Interactive, pop-up performances, artful dinner courses, fashion and a curated auction. The voices and influence of local artists will be inescapable, as they will be featured throughout the evening.

Lina Teixeira, Wearable Art will take the MUSE image and transform it into wearable art that will be showcased at the event. Patrons will be able to bid on it at the Silent Auction and have a unique fashion photo opp!
• Each guest will receive a special treat from sponsor, Viktoria Richards Chocolates, specifically designed for MUSE@MFA.
La Lucha is providing our jazzy backdrop.
• The inimitable Eugenie Bondurant and Paul Wilborn will favor us with delightful song selections.
MagicDewayne Hill will baffle you with his tableside Hand Magic
• Alex Harris and the Arts Conservatory for Teens (ACT) will bring a little Motown to MUSE.
• Derek Donnelly, owner of "SAINT PAINT" Arts and Apparel will provide an up-close-and personal view of a painter at work.
• Singer-songwriter Fran Snyder will preview tunes from the upcoming Office Concerts Series.
• Bruce W. Norris will capture your spirit in caricature.

The presentation of two inaugural MUSE Awards will recognize St. Petersburg artists who are stellar representatives of our city. Help us will shine a spotlight on our creative community by nominating an outstanding St. Petersburg artist, actor, dancer, singer, musician, or writer who is an inspiring representative of our City of the Arts.

The Muse with the most nominations will be recognized with the People’s Choice Award. (Awards designed by Jacob Stout and Mariel Bass of St. Petersburg Hot Glass Workshop/ Duncan McClellan Glass)
