EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION

Join us at Gallery221@HCC Dale Mabry for a special panel honoring the life and legacy of Theo Wujcik (1936–2014), one of Tampa’s most influential artists.

Theo Wujcik was a Detroit-born artist, educator, master printer and painter known for his innovative techniques. He moved to Tampa in 1970 to become shop director of Graphicstudio at USF, where he taught for three decades while creating artwork in rhythm with Tampa’s early underground music scene and Ybor City’s alternative dance clubs. Collected and exhibited both nationally and internationally, he remained a vital force in the Tampa Bay art scene until his death in 2014.

The discussion will be moderated by HCC Arts Director Amanda Poss and will feature:

-Susan Johnson – Widow and Estate Manager for Theo Wujcik
-Tracy Midulla – Founder and Director of Tempus Projects
-Joanna Robotham – Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Tampa Museum of Art
-Wallace Wilson – Director Emeritus, School of Art & Art History, University of South Florida
