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.

TAGGED: A Student Juried Exhibition
TAGGED: A Student Juried Exhibition
Achieved through collaboration between the UWF Department of Art & Design and The Art Gallery (TAG), “TAGGED” intends to exhibit student work from throughout the UWF student community and allow students to experience best practices in displaying their work publicly. “The TAGGED exhibition brings an added level of excitement to The Art Gallery (TAG) each year,” says gallery director, Stasha Willis. “Not only is this exhibition open to all students, but it is also the moment when our senior gallery intern puts months of mentorship into practice as they step into the role of Exhibition Designer. The reception also serves as an award ceremony, where TAG and the Department of Art & Design look forward to bringing the community together to celebrate our students through the conferral of the TAGGED juried awards, department achievement awards, a people's choice award, and community‑sponsored scholarships and exhibition opportunities.”
"TAGGED”
will run from March 5 - March 12, with an opening ceremony and awards presentation on March 5 from 5-7 pm. Visitors are encouraged to view the works on display during the gallery's regular hours.
