Your Card

Your Card

February - March 2024

In the month of March, we are excited to host an exhibition called Your Card. For this project, students in the USF College of the Arts first-year Foundations program drew a tarot or playing card at random. Students then researched the history and meaning behind their card and created a large-scale collage version of the card that merges their research and their personal identity.

You can see the students’ original inspiration cards in the exhibit cases as well as some example books from the Library’s collections on the history of playing and tarot cards. The collages on display in this exhibition are from the 2023 and 2024 sections of Concepts & Practices I from the USF Tampa campus. The instructors for these classes are Rhonda Donovan, Adam Farcus, and Jessica Todd.

The exhibit will end with a closing reception on Friday, March 22, from 5-7pm. Refreshments will be served, and attendees may have an opportunity for a tarot card reading. Please join us!

Graphic Arts 2024 Senior Class: Memoir

Graphic Arts 2024 Senior Class: Memoir

January - February 2024

Memoir is curated by and features the work of the USF St. Petersburg Graphic Arts Class of 2024. The works in the exhibition engage with "awe" and the "Sublime" as profound feelings that all experience and interpret differently. Some may see the beauty in everyday moments, while others are moved by once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Many are amazed at their ability to overcome hardships, and recognize their own inner strengths. Memoir features artists's books and works on paper that all engage with these deep feelings that are a part of what makes us human.
