The Way We See It

With a new focus and new members, this year’s Artists’ League exhibit, on the 22nd Floor of the Florida Capitol, follows its previous exhibitions from 2003 and 2016.

The Artists’ League of the Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA) is comprised of established and emerging artists from the region. With a wide diversity of media represented, members are fine artists, fine craftsmen, patrons, and part-time artists. Their work may be found in galleries, museums, art spaces, and exhibitions around the country.

The Artists’ League is a special membership of the FSU MoFA which is the largest academic art museum in the Big Bend. It is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

We very much appreciate the leadership of former Museum Director Dr. Allys Palladino-Craig who retired in September of this year and League Liaison, Dr. Viki Thompson Wylder, who will leave in December 2018. The Museum and the League have often worked closely in support of each otherand we extend our best wishes to them on their respective retirements. We welcome the new Museum Director, Dr. Preston McLane, and Gallery Director Meredith Lynn.

Artists’ League meetings are held once a month on First Tuesdays at the museum. Each summer, the FSU MoFA hosts a juried exhibition by the League membership and 2019 will represent the League’s 33rd exhibition there.

A “Walk and Talk” event will be held in the 22nd Floor Capitol Gallery on Tuesday, October 2nd from 5-7pm (free and open to the public) where participants will have the opportunity to speak to the artists about the artwork.
