The Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art is pleased to announce Sara Felice as the museum’s new Curator!

Felice will be LRMA’s third curator in its 20-year history, following a national search after previous curator Christine Renc-Carter was appointed LRMA’s Executive Director in May 2022. Felice will be joining the LRMA team beginning on April 4.

Felice grew up in Upstate New York, where she began studying art and photography from a young age. She graduated with her bachelor’s in Photography from the New England Institute of Art and her master’s in Museum Studies from Syracuse University, where she formerly directed Point of Contact Gallery since 2017.

Working with artists and writers on a global scale, Felice has curated, directed and designed exhibitions both in her local communities and nationally. She served as Managing Editor for Point of Contact’s poetry anthology and reading series, Corresponding Voices, which brought together poets of international acclaim in a bilingual publication and reading series. In addition, she was responsible for the oversight, management and grant proposals for their youth art studio, which brought bilingual arts programming to underserved communities in the Syracuse area. She relocated to Clearwater with her family in 2022, where she has continued her work as a photographer. She is delighted to join the LRMA team to further grow its established reputation for excellence in the arts.

Please help us welcome her to the SPC Tarpon Springs Campus!
