Visiting artists included Sam Gilliam, Joyce J. In order to support this opportunity, exhibitions in the Scarfone/Hartley Gallery are often held during their residency. The purpose of this program is to introduce national and international artists to the Tampa Bay community by giving students and art enthusiasts an opportunity to meet these artists and to see them working in the studio. It is in this spirit of true research, applied innovation and scholarship that we build invaluable connections between our students and the world of contemporary art. Students have the opportunity to participate in the Meridian Scholar Program as a course, earning credits towards their degree.
This unique program was designed as an atelier, an interdisciplinary workshop where students and master artists explore materials, processes and technology. The Meridian Scholar Program (formerly known as STUDIO-f) is an innovative program that invites visiting artists and scholars for a 10-day residency to work directly with UT students in the creation of a dynamic, print-based art project. Programs receive support from the Arts Council of Hillsborough County, the Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners and The University of Tampa Friends of the Gallery. The Gallery also features work by College of Arts and Letters faculty, alumni and students during scheduled exhibitions, receptions, lectures and performances. The Scarfone/Hartley Gallery's mission is to exhibit works of art as an extension of the classroom, providing an opportunity to view and study significant original artwork by contemporary national, international and regional artists.
