The Visual & Performing Arts Division of Gulf Coast State College presents After Action Review, a group exhibition. The artists represented are veterans and former active duty members from Viet Nam, Desert Storm, and the so-called Global War on Terror.

Every participant in this collection was chosen not only because of their experiences in the military or combat but due to their unique take on art-making—each bringing their voice and perspective of the world in which they navigate and sustain their strengths.

Tyler is a curator of After Action Review, he will talk

SPEAKER SERIES: Gary Monroe

Fri, January 25   |   7:30 PM

Introducing people to the world of Outsider art, this vivid PowerPoint-assisted lecture focuses on art that has been created by uninitiated artists who are distinguished by their idiosyncrasies and wild visions. Their works fly in the face of traditional art-making and is guaranteed to shake long-standing foundations. In recent years, Outsider art has been co-opted into the museum culture, thereby altering our views about the nature of art and aesthetics. In this presentation, Mr. Monroe introduces twelve remarkable self- taught Florida artists, while exposing the ideas which led to their renegade creations.

Support for the Speaker Series is provided by a grant from the Florida Humanities Council with funds from the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs.

Presented by Bay Arts Alliance at Panama City Center for the Arts.
