Centre Gallery Hosts “So You Think You Can Paint? Tampa Season 2”
Got What it Takes to be an Art Star?

Tampa, FL (August 19, 2010) – Last spring’s “So You Think You Can Paint?” competition was so successful, the Centre Gallery is offering everyone – students, alumni, and community members – a second chance to participate in this great art exhibition! The Centre Gallery presents “So You Think You Can Paint? Tampa Season 2.”
On August 19, 20, 23 & 24th , members of the community can drop off their paintings at the Centre Gallery to participate in the exhibition. The gallery will accept paintings of any subject, size or format. The judging will not be based on concept, so all are welcome. A panel will critique the submitted paintings based on skill and the artist’s handling of the medium.
The judging process is a reinterpretation of the reality TV judging show. A video of the judging process will be shown during the reception and awards presentation from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, August 27, 2010. Five grand prizes and five special category prizes will be awarded to selected winners.
As an added bonus, gallery patrons will also be able to view the winning paintings from “So You Think You Can Paint? Chicago Edition”, held in Chicago this past July. The Chicago winners will display their work in the Tampa exhibition but will not be competing for prizes.
“So You Think You Can Paint? Tampa Season 2” is sponsored by AOE, ProCopy, Vertical Merchandise, and Vince Kral. The exhibition will be held at the Centre Gallery in the Marshall Student Center (room 2700) at the University of South Florida, 4202 E. Fowler Ave., Tampa, Fla. It is free and open to the public.
