Uncelebrity: The Warhol Foundation Photographic Legacy Project Reconsidered
June 8 – July 25, 2026

Uncelebrity explores an alternate side of the legacy of "the King of Pop Art," as captured by the gifts USF Contemporary Art Museum received from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
As part of our summer exhibitions visitors are invited to participate in 15 minutes later…. A collaborative photography activity that takes as its starting point Andy Warhol’s famous quip, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." The activity connects two distinct shows through shared acts of looking, making, and community.

PICTURE(SQUE): Ellen Harvey Works, 1999-2025
August 24, 2026 – March 6, 2027
USF Contemporary Art Museum
PICTURE(SQUE): Ellen Harvey Works, 1999-2025 presents four major bodies of work by the celebrated Anglo-American artist that honor and question ideas around travel, memory, monuments and history making. Harvey’s artworks memorialize lost places and interrogate existing ones; additionally, they turn a warm eye toward human beings’ relationships with their lived environment, while asking us to envision new ways of being in the future.
