Gulf Coast Community Foundation has awarded a generous $50,000 Arts Appreciation grant to The Ringling that will support the museum’s Art of Our Time initiative during the 2019-2020 season. The foundation’s Arts Appreciation grants provide unrestricted funding to cornerstone arts and cultural organizations in the region to help them pursue their artistic missions.
Through its support of Art of Our Time, Gulf Coast is recognized as a sponsor of the contemporary exhibitions Remaking the World: Abstraction from the Permanent Collection (Nov. 10, 2019-Aug. 1, 2020), Ai Weiwei: Zodiac (2018) LEGO (Nov. 17, 2019- Feb. 2, 2020), Syd Solomon: Concealed and Revealed (Dec. 15, 2019- April 26, 2020), Skyway 2020: A Contemporary Collaboration (June 21, 2020-Oct. 4, 2020), Being Seen (April 19, 2020- Sept. 13, 2020) and Howie Tsui: Retainers of Anarchy (March 15, 2020- June 14, 2020).
“We are deeply grateful for the ongoing support of Gulf Coast Community Foundation for the exhibitions and programs presented through the Art of Our Time initiative,” said Steven High, executive director of The Ringling. “Gulf Coast’s leading sponsorship enables us to engage our community with the works of visionary contemporary artists at The Ringling.”

Since its launch in 2011, The Ringling’s Art of Our Time initiative has played a vital role in an international network of living artists whose work moves beyond traditional practices in visual and performative art. Gulf Coast Community Foundation has been a committed sponsor to the Art of Our Time initiative, supporting visual art exhibitions, Ringling International Arts Festival, and New Stages performing arts series.

Gulf Coast will be recognized at events held in accordance with Art of Our Time exhibitions as well as Friends of Art of Our Time events and programs.
