Digital entry (CD)  with August 21, 2009 postmark for entry.   Prospectus now available.



 

THE BEGINNING

In February of 2006, the Board of the International Society of Acrylic Painters decided that if acrylic painters wanted to have more opportunities to exhibit their work, ISAP would have to grow and expand by forming Regional or State Chapters.

In March 2006, spearheaded by a Tampa Bay group of artists-most already signature members of ISAP-stepped up to the plate and after officers were elected and committees formed, they hit a grand-slam with the International Society of Acrylic Painters-Florida.

By April 15, 2006, they had found a venue, a sponsor for awards, a juror and had at least 60 members. Membership applications, prospectus’ and information postcards were sent out to every known artist along with galleries and museums throughout the state. ISAP-FL had attained a membership of 104 acrylic artists by the 4th of JULY 2006!

THE MISSION

Our mission is to further the interests of artists in the use of acrylics/water-media by providing competitive exhibits, encouraging the study of the acrylic medium, and educating artists and the public on the significance of acrylics as an important painting medium.

 

THE EXHIBIT

Our 4th Annual Juried Exhibition will be held at the Carrollwood Cultural Center in Tampa, FL from November 3 thru November 30, 2009, and sponsored by AOE Supply of Tampa, FL. Our juror is British International artist Kenneth J. Hodgson, founder of the National Acrylic Painters' Association - United Kingdom (fore-runner of ISAP). The prospectus is available on this site or by contacting our Exhibition Director, Judy Weitekamp - judywtkp@tampabay.rr.com or 727-823-6946. Membership in ISAP-FL is required for entry and you can either join now or when you submit your entry for the exhibit. This year we are going completely digital (CD) and the entry postmark is August 21, 2009. So paint, shoot, save, burn a CD and get ready for a great exhibit! See you in November!
