About The Art Gallery at UWF
The Art Gallery (TAG) at the University of West Florida seeks to challenge, stimulate, and engage students and the greater public through direct interaction with works of contemporary and modern art. TAG's series of revolving exhibitions highlights both student work as well as innovative regional, national, and international artists. These exhibitions aim to foster critical thinking and cultural inspiration, benefiting both UWF students and the broader Gulf Coast community.
Every year, TAG features several solo and group exhibitions including the annual TAGGED Student Art and Design Competition, a biennial Art Faculty Exhibition, and several graduating BFA Thesis Exhibitions. The Gallery functions as a not-for-profit pedagogical space with a main focus of creating a forum for community dialogue centered around experimental and inventive artworks.
TAG is centrally located across from Mainstage Theatre and Rolfs Music Hall in the Center for Fine and Performing Arts. Its high ceilings and 1,600 square feet offer a creative setting for artists to display work. The Gallery accepts proposals from emerging and established contemporary artists year around.

This Moment Together: A Faculty Show for John Markowitz
This Moment Together: A Faculty Show for John Markowitz
This Moment Together: A Faculty Show for John Markowitz celebrates the profound impact of Markowitz on UWF’s Art & Design community. Presented as this year’s edition of TAG’s biennial faculty exhibition, the show features faculty works that speak to his influence on their artistic journeys. These pieces appear alongside a curated selection of Markowitz paintings drawn from faculty collections. Together, they create a shared moment of reflection, connection, and creative exchange.
John Markowitz taught at UWF for over 20 years in addition to working as a professional artist. His works have been exhibited nationwide, with solo exhibitions at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, Millersville University of Pennsylvania and the Morris Street Gallery in Charleston, South Carolina.
Visitors are encouraged to view the works on display during the gallery's regular hours.
