St. Petersburg, United States of America
Morean Art Center

Art for the people.

True to purpose of art as a form of expression, the Morean Art center is a building designed to draw the eye as an amalgamation of geometric forms, distinguishing itself from the commonplace cuboid buildings, with modest individuality. In remaining consistent as an institution promoting the arts, as with its exterior, upon entering the building, every space within it is devoted to the display of art pieces from various disciplines, of various cultures from both East and West. Without a singular restrictive theme, the Morean Arts center prides itself for being a patron to the quintessence of art, since its founding in 1917 as the Art Club of St Petersburg, with a belief that the importance of art is to inspire and through this inspiration lives can be enriched. For the visitors to this humble construction of good intentions towards society, the walk through the building is no mere rudimentary movement repeated but a journey of self-discovery as with variety springs hope of finding existential catharsis from a resonating individuality imprinted in art that seems to say, in an instant, "I speak on your behalf because I feel as you do".


When inspiration is spilling at the brim as idle hands grow restive from the surging adrenaline of the desire to create, the Morean Arts center offers scheduled classes and workshops, from the more common mediums like pastel and watercolor, to the more eclectic such as glassblowing.


Quiet and serene, to be without distraction, gazing at the wonders that are Dale Chihuly's masterful manipulation of glass to produce magnificent works of art, hours will pass surreptitiously, unhurriedly and a soul's thirst for inspiration will have been quenched then.
