Moving Towards the Future
Pavilion XXXVI: Humana vs. Machina
The philanthropic celebration of the arts unfolds as Tampa Museum of Art hosts the 36th annual Pavilion gala on November 5, 2022 to support Tampa Museum of Art’s programs and educational offerings. Presented by PNC Bank, Pavilion is one of Tampa Bay’s most exclusive black-tie events. Pavilion XXXVI will be co-chaired by Cassie & Jake Greatens, owners of CASS Contemporary and will honor the Adams and Casper Families.
“Jake and I love being involved with the Tampa Museum of Art,” said Cassie Greatens. “TMA brings a dynamic element to the art community and the Tampa Bay Area as a whole. From engaging exhibits to outstanding educational programming, the Museum exemplifies excellence in all areas. This Pavilion is particularly special due to the theme of the event. Jake and I wanted to capitalize and bring attention to the growing popularity of incorporating different technological elements into art, while still paying homage to the more traditional processes.”
Pavilion XXXVI: Humana vs. Machina will transform the Museum into a futuristic landscape that explores the boundaries between human and machine. Inspired by advances in digital art and the limitless opportunities that new immersive technology will create in the art landscape, Humana vs. Machina will add a touch of futurism to the signature event.
Honorees at Pavilion XXXVI include Allison Casper Adams, her husband Robby Adams and brother Blake Casper, who have a long-standing legacy of commitment to the Museum. In fact their parents, Bunny and Joe Casper, were active supporters of TMA and part of the first Pavilion committee in 1981. Allison was co-chair for Pavilion in 2021 and serves on the Tampa Museum of Art’s Governing Board of Trustees since 2007. Both Blake Casper and Robby Adams serve on the Pavilion’s Gentleman’s Committee to support the Museum.
“Humana vs. Machina is about staying current and moving toward the future, which is exactly what TMA represents, from their expansion to their impressive 2023 exhibition list,” said Cassie Greatens. “We are honored to be chairing such a special event and are excited about the future of the Museum.”
