#MuseumFromHome – St. Pete MFA

Posted on by The Wandering Art Historian

The Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida has joined in the #MuseumFromHome movement!  Their offerings are really wonderful and varied with activities and learning opportunities for every member of the family.

For kids, the MFA offers crafting tutorials inspired by works in their collection.  For more information, follow this link… https://mfastpete.org/art-break-with-the-mfa/

For art inspired games, the MFA has a page dedicated to digital jigsaw puzzles and “spot-the-differences” games.  For more info, follow this link… https://mfastpete.org/puzzles-and-games/

What really impressed me is that the MFA has made their educational series, Wild Creations, completely digital so that anyone can experience this insightful learning opportunity.  The Wild Creations series highlights the women artists of the MFA catalog with workshops on the Guerrilla Girls, Elizabeth Vigee Lebrun and Georgia O’Keeffe.  For more information on this series, please visit… https://mfastpete.org/wild-creations-digital-access/

I am writer and artist with a degree in art history who loves to talk to people about art. I have spent the last seven years building up The Wandering Art Historian “brand” as a way to connect with people who want to learn more about art. I give lectures and presentations and teach classes and host book club discussions with a creative or artistic connection. I also write about local artists, events, museums, and exhibitions to promote the arts in Central Florida. In 2021, I had a creative crisis. I struggled with authenticity in the art making process. I decided to make myself vulnerable and find out what a real, genuine Adrienne H. Lee artwork would look like. The process was challenging and emotional and revelatory. I learned that if necessity is the mother of invention, then authenticity is the mother of reinvention. I reinvented myself and learned an entirely new medium. The resulting artwork surprised me, and it will surprise you, too. Some people wish for a fairytale ending. For me, the fairy tale is only the beginning.
