Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, January 13th, 5pm to 8pm!

In August 1984, the Pinellas County school district opened the Pinellas County Center for the Arts at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg. A magnet program for artistically talented students, PCCA has fostered the talents of countless students who have gone on to do big things in the areas of dance, music, theater and the visual arts.

This exhibition celebrates the major contribution the Visual Arts program at PCCA has made to the art world, and specifically, to our community. In 2024, the Morean will host exhibitions featuring PCCA alumni, faculty and current students.  These parts will work together to highlight the past, present and future of the program.

THE FACULTY

Since its inception in 1984, nearly 20 extraordinary artists have served as faculty members in PCCA’s Visual Arts Department. In addition to a full teaching schedule, these individuals participated in student exhibitions on weekends and evenings, and also created work of their own to exhibit in local and national galleries and museums. Each of these artists brought a unique aesthetic and specific skill set to the program. Much of the success of PCCA alumni can be attributed to these instructors and their commitment to the students.
