2010-11 Fine Arts Season

The Fine Arts Department at Seminole State College of Florida will kick off its 2010-11 cultural arts season in September with a gallery exhibit featuring Ten Women in Art, a group of Brevard County artists; a theatre production of the zany comedy "Dead Man’s Cell Phone"; and a performance by the Central Florida Brass Band Ensemble.

In addition, the ArtsMatters lecture/fine arts series expands to monthly events this season.

Art

"My Life as a Circus," a painting by
Ten Women in Art's Marg Kuhl

Seminole State College's Fine Arts Gallery will focus on Florida artists this season, offering an array of media, including painting, photography, ceramics, printmaking and computer-generated images.

Ten Women in Art, founded in 1983, opens the season on Sept. 2. The group's membership has varied over the years, but its mission remains constant — to educate the public about the diversity in women's art.

The annual Fine Arts faculty exhibit in November and December and the Juried Student Art Exhibit in April will give the community an opportunity to discover new talent.

Seminole State's Fine Arts Gallery (building G on the Sanford/Lake Mary Campus) is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and also during music and theatre performances. For more information, please call 407.708.2040. All gallery exhibits are free and open to the public.

Theatre

The Fine Arts Theatre's season will offer something for everyone, starting with the bizarre humor of Sarah Ruhl’s "Dead Man’s Cell Phone" in September. In November the theatre will present the classic musical comedy "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum."

For the holidays, Southern Winds Theatre will bring "The Festival of Lights - An Evening of Stories in Celebration of Chanukah" to Seminole State.

August Wilson's "Seven Guitars," Lanford Wilson's "Balm in Gilead" and performances by the Yow Dance company round out the season.

Ticket information: Reservations are strongly recommended and can be made by calling 407.708.2040 or visiting the Fine Arts Theatre Box Office (building G) on the Sanford/Lake Mary Campus. The Box Office is open Mondays from 9 a.m.-noon, and Tuesdays through Fridays from noon-4 p.m.
