Daliwood is an annual juried film competition of Pinellas and Hillsborough County middle and high school students. In the world of film, Dali and his surrealist colleagues found radical ways to challenge conventions and create new realities. This exhibition provides an opportunity to see how, eight decades later, the ideas of surrealist filmmakers still influence new generations of artists. This exhibit encourages students to continue exploring new ideas and creative thinking in all fields of education. First presented at the Sunscreen Film Festival, the juried winning work is now on view in the Student Gallery. Winning work can also be seen on the museum's website education page.
Featuring a selection of works spanning over 60 years, Dalí in Color reveals various methods in which the artist worked with colored media on paper. This exhibition includes works completed for competition, studies for possible publications, a rare example of his work with pastel, conversions of pre-existing images, studies for monumental canvases, and spontaneous experimentation with powdered pigments. Additionally, there are works created for advertisements, costume and furniture designs, and elaborate festivals.
