Both Massaro and Jackson are inspired by themes of change, loss, and renewal. Experience poetry and art in a new way as words couple with visual art in dialogue to transform and uplift your soul.

About our current gallery exhibition LOSS:

St. Petersburg, Florida based artist Mike Massaro is a sculptor and mixed media installation artist who poetically manipulates everyday construction materials and found objects to meet his desired end. His solo sculptural installation LOSS is an abstract representation exploring nuanced themes of change, loss and rebirth. As the viewer navigates the physical objects and lighting, they will be provided with a contemplative space in which they can process their own personal experiences of the subjects. Massaro was awarded his BFA from the University of Tampa.

This evening event is presented during our monthly Last Wednesday hours, when we open our gallery free of charge with a cash bar from 5:30-8pm. Learn more here.
