On behalf of the Board of Directors, the
Festival Committee and our hundreds
of volunteers, welcome to the 50th
Anniversary of the Raymond James
Gasparilla Festival of the Arts.
We are so thrilled to host you at our new
home in the beautiful Julian B. Lane
Riverfront Park. Since our founding 50
years ago, the GFA has been a trailblazer,
and this bold step forward is the natural
evolution of our organization, as well as for the City of Tampa in expanding the downtown
boundaries westward. We hope you enjoy this new location and all it has to offer. Our primary
goal with this relocation is to offer an enhanced visitor and artist experience, and we hope we
have succeeded. With any big change there are bound to be hiccups and we will endeavor, as we
always do, to make each festival the best yet.
This year’s festival has been two years in the making and it wouldn’t be possible without the
dedication, passion and resolve of our members, all volunteers numbering more than 100.
A special thank you to the families of our members for sharing them with us – we know how
valuable their time is. We owe a great deal of gratitude to our title sponsor Raymond James,
our many other sponsors, partners, and collaborators and especially the City of Tampa and
Hillsborough County. Without their support, we wouldn’t be able to bring such a high caliber
juried arts festival to Tampa Bay. And this festival wouldn’t be at the top of each artist’s list if
it weren’t for the amazing reception they receive from our community and the many savvy art
supporters who purchase and collect their artwork, aware of how prestigious it is to be accepted
into our festival. Thank you for being passionate supporters of the arts and helping sustain the
livelihood of these professional artists.
Our over 250 juried artists represent a diverse range of artistic styles, mediums, and price-
points. The artists invited this year are representative of a mixture of returning artists and artists
exhibiting for the first time. We love having that blend of “familiar and new,” which helps keep
the festival fresh.
Being a part of this festival and interacting with our volunteers, artists and visitors, whether
from the local community or beyond, has been one of the greatest joys of my life. We hope you
have a wonderful experience this year. Explore, get inspired, try a new activity, discover your
inner creativity, become a collector – these are our hopes for you. May you leave with beautiful
memories, original works of art, inspiration, and shared moments of connectivity with artists
and our wonderful Tampa community.

6The Festival Committee
The Festival Committee is a group of dedicated volunteers who bring the festival
together each year. While the Board of Directors handles all policy matters and
fundraising, the committee of festival volunteers assumes the many duties necessary
to present an event of this magnitude. Led by the festival Co-Chairs, each of the
committee volunteers handles specific tasks and takes responsibility for a particular
area of the festival.

Local Artist Spotlight
The Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts is committed to the enhancement
of the Tampa Bay area’s cultural arts. In keeping with our mission, we have created a
new program with the support of the Gobioff Foundation, the Tampa Bay Local Artists
Spotlight, which will help showcase local artists who are not part of the main festival show.
Interested artists submitted for candidacy and then the public voted on their favorites.
In this inaugural year, we received over 36,000 votes.
Presented By
We are proud to announce the GFA 2020 Tampa Bay
Local Artists Spotlight Winners:
Karen Schremmer | Sanjib Malik | Alann Boatright
10We are proud to present the 23rd Annual
Emerging Artist Program
of the Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts
The Emerging Artist Program is intended to support and exhibit local and regional
emerging artists. The program sponsors artists who have not previously exhibited
their work professionally to be a part of the Raymond James Gasparilla Festival
of the Arts. This unique opportunity allows emerging artists to exhibit their work,
interact with successful professional artists and gain valuable experience that
will help them in their future careers.
A limited number of emerging artists are selected to participate in the Festival through
a jurying process. Once selected, these artists are allowed to participate at no cost,
provided individual display tents and given a $250 expense allowance. Although
emerging artists do not compete against the other artists in the festival for award money,
they are eligible to receive the $1,500 B. T. Videtto Emerging Artist Award, given to the
best emerging artist in each year’s festival.
The 2020 Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts is proud to showcase
the work of 15 emerging artists, representing a diversity of styles and media.

Tampa Bay’s vibrancy and culture, represented

pink sunset clouds and a starry night sky.
In ancient times — as well as today — the oval

immortality. The multitude of circles represents
commitment, community or all cyclic movement.

12Art Collectors in Training Program
Kids taking ACTion for kids
Presented By
We invite young people, ages 6 to 14, to participate in the 11th annual Art Collectors
in Training (ACT) program. ACT gives young people the opportunity to view and
purchase artwork donated by artists participating in the festival.
Donated art will be displayed and sold in ACT’s “kids only” art gallery. Most items
can be purchased for $5 or $10 and more valuable artwork will be priced accordingly.
Artwork is labeled with the artist’s name and booth location so the young art
collector and their accompanying adult can have the opportunity to meet with
the artist face to face.
Last year, more than 97 artists donated 400 pieces of art to the ACT program
raising approximately $2750 for the The Spring of Tampa Bay and NOMADstudio.

Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts | 50th Anniversary 2020Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts | 50th Anniversary 2020 Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of The Arts, one of the country’s premier outdoor art events, has a rich history in the City of Tampa. The forerunner of the art festival was the juried art exhibit at the Florida State Fair held in Tampa every February in conjunction with the city’s Gasparilla pirate invasion. In 1970, art activists realized that the informality of the State Fair exhibit had brought diverse, high- quality artwork to a new audience, and the concept of a sidewalk art festival was born. Many changes have occurred throughout our 50-year history. From our beginnings on Whiting Street, the festival has moved from Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park and Kiley Garden to our current home in Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park. Award money has grown from its original $3,900 total to $80,000. Some things that haven’t changed are the strong and continued support of the City of Tampa, Hillsborough County and a dedicated team of festival volunteers.

Entertainment
Denis Phillips’ desire to be a television meteorologist
began by seeing Santa on radar when he was 6 years
old. It’s true ... although severe weather really hooked
him. He is one of those crazies you’ll see tied to a palm
tree in a Category 3 hurricane ... doing a live shot ...
sideways.
Denis graduated in 1985 and got his first on-air
position in Salisbury, Maryland, shortly thereafter.
Af te r sto p s i n G a i n e s v i l l e , P ro v i d e n ce a n d
Los Angeles, Denis finally ended up in Tampa. Festival Emcee:
He says the bay area offers all the challenges weather- Denis Phillips
wise he could ever hope for: severe thunderstorms, Chief Meteorologist,
tropical storms, and plenty of opportunities to tie ABC Action News
himself to a palm tree!
Denis has graciously agreed to emcee our festival
this year! Let’s hope he predicts beautiful weather
for festival weekend!

In a word,
Raymond James
believes in the
transformative
power of the arts.
Perhaps the most meaningful thing you can do with success is share it. And when you do
that with care and conviction, giving can be an art form – one Raymond James has been
practicing since 1962. Today, we carry on the charitable legacy of our founder Bob James
in words and actions as we seek to go forward by giving back. LIFE WELL PLANNED.
