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.

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.

David Seering, who is recognized as one of the most versatile entertainers in America. David’s music journey began at the age of three when he started playing piano and singing by ear, only to evolve into a style of his own.

His ability takes him from behind the piano as a marvelous solo pianist and vocalist, to commanding a stage as a remarkable entertainer with a 16 piece orchestra as his back up.

David’s career has taken him from being the lead vocalist for the United States Armed Forces Band to performing with such notable groups as the USC Symphony Orchestra, The Tulsa Pops Orchestra, The Lovell Ives Orchestra, as well as the Atlanta Pops Orchestra. David has performed by invitation for two US Presidents, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan, as well as Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris, and Louisiana Governor Mike Foster.
