St. Petersburg Museum of History Extends Entriy Deadline for "Diversity in Aviation"Art Exhibit to July 18, 2008!
The St. Petersburg Museum of History is inviting artists to submit paintings that pertain to aviation or aviation art. Every aspect of aviation (airplanes, airports, space crafts, aerial views, space travel) could be used as a subject. Submit your original (non-professional) artwork entries now through July 18th. Don’t wait!
Join the Diversity in Aviation Art Exhibit, a juried exhibit of paintings by Middle School, High School, and Adult (non-professional) artists. The entries will be shown at the St. Petersburg Museum of History, in the Flight One Gallery.
Judging and the awarding of cash and prizes will be the highlight of a weekend (August 9-10, 2008) of fun aviation-related events. A female engineer from NASA, Lousie Kleba, and a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) representative are scheduled to speak at the museum on August 10th.
This family-oriented weekend is one of the many events lined up to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the maiden flight of the world’s first commercial airline from St. Petersburg to Tampa in 1914.
Through this exhibit, the Museum hopes to inspire artists to tell the story of dreamers, aviation pioneers and pilots, the joy of flight and the diversity in aviation.
The promotion and part of this event was made possible by the Pinellas County Cultural Affairs Department and the St. Petersburg Clearwater Convention and Visitors Bureau through the Cultural Tourism Grant and the Art Education and Outreach Grant. Funding for this project has been provided by employees of the St. Petersburg Times through the Employee Giving Program, matched from the St. Petersburg Times Fund, Inc. and the Pinellas County Cultural Council.
