This exhibition celebrates the more than four-decade tenure of the University of Florida’s School of Art and Art History’s annual art trip to New York City. As a young professor at the University of Florida, located in rural north Florida, Heipp thought it was critical for students to experience “real” art in museums and galleries and to experience studio visits with successful and emerging artists in the capital of the art world. In Heipp's 40 years of leading the SA+AH NY trip, almost 800 students were exposed to what many participants described as a “life changing experience.” Each year following the trip, several students make the move to NY spanning a vibrant community of UF art alumni that remain active artists and art professionals in New York. For this exhibition Heipp selected 11 former students who are working artists exploring a variety of media and career paths. They have all forged successful paths in the complex, challenging and exciting Art world of New York. 

The exhibition continues Saturday March 29th 3PM- 7PM
