"Selene, serene", Molly Matchstick @ Centre Gallery, USF.
From Oct. 21 through Nov. 1, the Centre Gallery at the University of South Florida will host SELENE, serene by Molly Matchstick. Visitors to the gallery will encounter the dreams of the artist all constructed through her personal aesthetic, conveyed through dress design.
Molly Matchstick’s exhibition was motivated by the gallery space sparking an idea to display a runway show. This exhibition, and the concluding fashion show, was inspired by her immediate surroundings, the models who wear her designs on the runway, and her greatest inspirations: the mood and the female. Using locally procured materials, featuring fabrics such as cotton, chiffon, metallic print, and laser-cut suede, Matchstick created a handmade collection of little black dresses complimented with purses and ties.
DessART, Centre Gallery’s opening reception for this exhibit, will be held on Oct. 21 from 12 – 1pm. The closing reception, After Hours Event: Fashion Show, will be held from 7 – 9pm on Thursday, Oct. 31, (Halloween) in the Centre Gallery. The Centre Gallery is located on the second floor of the Marshall Student Center in room 2700, at 4202 E. Fowler Ave., Tampa, Fla. It is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 11am to 5pm, Monday through Friday.
For more information, please contact the Centre Gallery at 813-974-5464.

Most artists are familiar with thinking, “outside the box”. Whether figuring out a way to fit that discarded piece of material on the side of the road (which will be simply perfect for their next art project) into their car or devising a plan on how to manage to pay the bills while continuing to do what they know they’re truly supposed to be doing, artists will find a way to create.
“ART of BOX” is an exploration of that creativity and artists are encouraged to think and submit work that was inspired “inside, outside, on top of, made out of, inspired by, etc.” … any type of box. All submissions must have some type of box included within the piece; whether painted, photographed, made out of or as a subject in a fine art piece, all boxes and mediums, big and small are appropriate.7-11 PM.

Dark Arts @ Fire Station #3 -
$10 entry ($5 KSPL members) | Visit www.stpetedarkarts.com
DARK ARTS is a fundraiser for Keep St. Pete Local and celebrates the darker side of the arts while supporting great local businesses. In addition to an art show featuring 60+artists in all disciplines, DARK ARTS features live entertainment, DJ MEGA, food and libations.
* Costumes or all-black attire is encouraged! Come celebrate Halloween with us in style! *
The creative team putting on DARK ARTS features a host of talented St. Petersburg art and entertainment scene veterans:
- 600 Block rockstars BLUELUCY, known for their impressive shows every month on Central Avenue.
- Entertainment queen Dollface, known for a variety of local events including Halloween favorites Something Wicked… and CarnEvil.
- The king of abnormal, and the wildly popular Abnormality show, Casey Paquet.
DARK ARTS celebrates the occult, the obscure, the forbidden, the dark and the strange. Rituals, ceremonies and rites of passage passed through the secret underbelly of humanity have long fascinated and entertained. Shedding light into the dark corners of the human mind, DARK ARTS pushes artists to detach from their more comfortable subject matter and explore the shadows beneath. The venue itself, a former fire station that has been paused in mid-decay and put on display for all to see what lies beneath the walls we trust, is the perfect backdrop for a show exploring that which lives inside of us all.
Performances and performance artists will also play a part in making this a multi-sensory experience not soon forgotten, while interactive photo opportunities put you in the middle of the show.
