Hey there boys and girls, it’s time for ART! That’s right, we here at the Splog are men enough to admit that we like the art, and if you’ve got something to say about it we’ll put down our tea, take off our white gloves, remove our topcoat and beat you silly.

The Outlook Art Show, which fires up at 6 pm tomorrow night at Cafe Hey in Tampa, says the following about itself:

Art is a result of how individual opinions transpire visually and tangibly. The result may be directed by predictability, or driven by curiousity. Whatever the case, the end product is a recording of one’s perspective… Art is an ongoing conversation, the product is a documentation of an outlook, whether extremely obvious, or entirely vague.

Hmm, that actually sounds really wanky. Pretend you didn’t hear that and instead focus on the fact that it features artists like Red Labor, Brandon Dunlap and Brandon McClean.

Of particular note is that this is the first time in recent history that I can remember someone in the area creating a site just for a show, bravo kids! It looks like they are also planning to sell pieces on the site as well. It was built by the cats over at Solid Motive, who I actually haven’t heard of but seem to do reasonably decent work. I don’t know what it is about Florida, though, because while their stuff looks pretty damn good on the outside, you dig around a little and find stuff like this where it looks like they either repeated a post for testing or just aren’t paying attention to what is visible on the live site. Come on fellas, details!
