Inspired By The Warmth Of Seville Orange Groves, Tanqueray Sevilla Orange Offers Delicious, Bittersweet Flavor to The Signature TANQUERAY Four-times London Dry Gin
Tanqueray, widely-known as the world’s most celebrated gin, has released Tanqueray Sevilla Orange. Launched in select Florida markets this summer, the new flavor epitomizes sunshine in a glass with its bittersweet orange taste and warm hints of spice. Known for its iconic green bottle and red emblem, TANQUERAY London Dry Gin is one of the world’s most award-winning gins, with a portfolio that includes TANQUERAY London Dry Gin, TANQUERAY No. TEN Gin, TANQUERAY Rangpur Gin and TANQUERAY Sterling Vodka.
Tanqueray Sevilla Orange launches in Miami and Orlando.
Tanqueray Sevilla Orange is created by infusing the brand’s four-times distilled classic London Dry gin with the essence of orange. Tanqueray has been making world-class gin for over 185 years. Founder Charles Tanqueray had a pioneering spirit and an obsession with creating the world’s finest gin. In this pursuit, he sourced botanicals from all around the world and created over 300 recipes. Charles Tanqueray once captured the sun-soaked taste of Seville orange groves in a recipe during the nineteenth century. His archival recipe inspired the creation of this new liquid. Tanqueray Sevilla Orange is an ideal complement for bright, fresh cocktails like Negronis, Sevilla Orange Spritz, Sevilla Orange & Tonic and more.
Tanqueray Sevilla Orange unveils a Wynwood mural in celebration of launching in Miami and Orlando.
“We
are thrilled to introduce Tanqueray Sevilla Orange into the U.S.
market just in time for summer. This vibrant flavor innovation is
perfectly crafted for bartenders and consumers to enjoy at sundown
and anytime in between,” said Christina
Choi, Senior Vice President of Gin at DIAGEO North America.
“We encourage them to enjoy and serve Sevilla Orange
responsibly as we remind spirits drinkers that gin is officially in.”
To
celebrate the launch and bring Tanqueray Sevilla Orange to life, the
brand has unveiled a mural in Miami’s Wynwood
Art District located at the corner of
NW 5th Ave + NW
27th (2701 NW 5th
Ave), encouraging consumers to take snapshots of the artwork
and try Florida’s new orange. If you’re planning to check out
Wynwood’s latest exhibit, Tanqueray invites you to stop by the local
restaurants currently serving Tanqueray
Sevilla Orange in the Wynwood neighbourhood: Beaker
& Gray and
Three. Tanqueray Sevilla Orange can also be enjoyed in Orlando
at local bars Celine
and Mathers.
Mural
artist and Miami local Nicole
Salgar said, “Working with Tanqueray Sevilla Orange
was an exciting experience. Their team did a great job of capturing
the Miami feel with this mural, and it was a very fun challenge for
me to execute. The Wynwood Arts District is a perfect setting for
this mural, as it is a Miami landmark of public art and culture!“
First
introduced in Europe in September 2018, Tanqueray Sevilla Orange is
now available in one Liter bottles at select accounts in Orlando and
Miami. 750ml bottles will also be available this October 2019.
Brand
Ushers In Seasonal Marketing Campaign With A Fresh Cast Including
Musician H.E.R. And Entrepreneur Luka Sabbat
The
iconic lifestyle brand continues to celebrate its uniqueness and
elevated position by featuring personalities who highlight the
diversity and spirit of UGG®.
Global lifestyle brand UGG® unveiled their sixth UGG® Collective global campaign for Autumn/Winter 2019, featuring a cast of real Californians including GRAMMY® Award-winning musician Gabi Wilson of H.E.R., plus entrepreneur and style influencer Luka Sabbat.

From
majestic mountains and wild woodlands to buzzing cities and quiet
beach towns, California represents an eclectic paradise that brings
together people from all across the world. For the brand’s new
campaign, UGG® and the cast traveled across San Francisco finding
breathtaking locations in the Presidio and historic Battery
Chamberlain.
“The UGG Collective consists of Californian musicians, actors, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, photographers and professional athletes. Like UGG®, they are bold, provocative, free-spirited, optimistic and real,” said Andrea O’Donnell, President, Fashion & Lifestyle Brands. “Each season, we select new groups of unique individuals to represent the brand. In telling their stories, we tell ours.”
This
season the cast includes:
Gabi Wilson/H.E.R. dives into enigma to get listeners to focus on her sound rather than the person behind it. Writing and practicing music since the age of three, the California native’s soulful songs have garnered praise from the likes of Alicia Keys, Bryson Tiller, and Rihanna. Touted as one of R&B’s rising stars, she won her first GRAMMY Award in February 2019 and is part of a growing group of young creatives who are revising identity and art in the digital age.
Luka Sabbat does everything his own way. Growing up between New York and Paris with fashion-industry parents, he has an innate sense of style infused into everything he does—most notably, his self-made project “Hot Mess,” a collaborative collection of unapologetically raw photography, film, clothing, and furniture. Boldly unfiltered, he redefines what it means to be a young creative entrepreneur.
Crystal Moselle is intent on bringing more female perspectives to film, turning her lens on an all-girl cast in Skate Kitchen, which follows a group of unapologetically young, queer, and feminist skateboarders in NYC. Honest in her storytelling, Moselle’s tender curiosity allows her to create soft yet extraordinary moments on screen—uncovering beauty in pain, and truth in fiction.
Daniel Woods never cowers in the face of failure, embracing it as a ladder to greatness. Competitively climbing since age eight, he is currently at the top of his game, winning a gold medal at the IFSC World Cup in 2010 and dominating the American Boulder Series for the last decade. Passionate and daring, he pushes the limits of possibility on a daily basis.
Lola McDonnell is a free-spirited model whose wild heart and love for travel lead her to some of the world’s most beautiful places. Often accompanied by fiancé and fellow Collective member Zackery Michael, she leads an unconventional life of adventure.
Zackery Michael lives life on his own terms as a self-taught photographer who’s always on the road. From shooting fashion editorials in NYC and celebrities in L.A. to documenting the mountain tribes of Myanmar, his photography focuses on intimate shots of people and places, often featuring his girlfriend Lola McDonnell.
The
brand campaign was shot by photographer Frederic Auerbach and
produced by 3Star Productions. The cast was assembled by casting
director Shay Nielsen, and came to life with the help of wardrobe
stylist Kate Ruth, hair stylist Nikki Providence and makeup artist
Dana Delaney. The locations were given flair and detail with the
assistance of set designer Eli Metcalf.

Organized
By Vitra Design Museum, The Exhibition Featuring More Than 700
Objects
Inspired
By Folk Art And Pop Art, Girard Created A Bold, Colorful, And
Charismatic Universe.
Alexander
Girard (Born in May 24, 1907 in New York City, NY and died
on December 31, 1993 in Santa Fe, New Mexico) was one of the most
important and prolific designers of the 20th century. He created
stunning interiors for restaurants, private homes, corporate offices,
and even airplanes! He created textiles, typography, and tableware.
He designed exhibitions, toys, and a whole city street in Columbus,
Indiana. Inspired by folk art and pop art, Girard created a bold,
colorful, charismatic universe. He warmed up modernism with his
whimsical, optimistic patterns and designs.
The Palm Springs Art Museum (101 Museum Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262, 760-322-4800) has announced the West Coast debut of Alexander Girard: A Designer’s Universe. This exhibition, organized by Vitra Design Museum, presents the colorful universe of Alexander Girard through more than 400 objects—textiles, drawings, furniture, graphics, film, and folk art—in a richly layered installation and accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue. Exhibition visitors will experience one of his best-known interiors—that of the 1957 Miller House in Columbus, Indiana—through a full-scale replica of its iconic conversation pit, which will be a place for repose and public programs.
The show will be on view from November 23, 2019 through March 1, 2020.
Practicing from the late 1920s until the late 1970s, Girard worked mostly for the American furniture company Herman Miller after becoming director of its textile division in 1951. Girard’s clients also included companies like Braniff International Airways and John Deere for which he created fresh new corporate brand identities, which, in the case of Braniff, extended from the planes themselves to the flight crew uniforms and passenger lounges. In addition to Girard’s own designs, this exhibition presents the creative universe from which Girard took his inspiration: folk art from all over the world, which the designer collected throughout his life. A selection of 300 objects from his folk art collection, gifted by him to the International Folk Art Museum in Santa Fe, is also featured in the exhibition.
The Palm Springs Art Museum was founded in 1938 as the Palm Springs Desert Museum at La Plaza in downtown Palm Springs. Natural science exhibits, Cahuilla Indian artifacts, and hiking excursions dominated the institution’s programming.
The
museum moved several times within the downtown Palm Springs area
before building its first permanent structure in 1958, located on the
southwest corner of Tahquitz-McCallum Way and Indian Ave. Over the
years, fine art gained a greater measure of focus.
By the late 60’s it was evident the 10,000 square foot building was quickly becoming too small. In 1974, architect E. Stewart Williams was commissioned to design the current building for the museum. Further growth resulted in the construction of the Doris and Walter N. Marks Administration Building and the 1996 completion of the Steve Chase Wing and the Education Center.
Major
renovations, and even bigger donations of art, transformed the
institution, which also sharpened its programming with nationally
significant exhibitions. In April 2004, the Board of Trustees decided
to shift the museum’s focus from a multi-disciplinary museum to a
world-class art museum with a vibrant theater program. In evaluating
the current strengths and directions of the museum, it became clear
that the art collections were growing and that the art audience was
expanding – primarily in the areas of architecture, photography,
and contemporary glass.
A study of the area’s other institutions also brought a realization that there were other established organizations providing exhibitions in the natural sciences. One year later, in April 2005, the museum officially changed its name from Palm Springs Desert Museum to Palm Springs Art Museum to reflect its emphasis on the visual and performing arts.
The
museum remains committed to serving as an innovative community
cultural center, and expanding its exhibitions, programs, and
services in the visual and performing arts.
In 2012, the museum opened a satellite exhibition and education space in Palm Desert (Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert, 72-567 Highway 111, Palm Desert, CA 92260, 760-346-5600), which features an architecturally distinctive building named The Galen that presents ongoing and temporary exhibitions of internationally important art and is surrounded by the Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden that features significant sculpture works surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens.
In 2011, the museum purchased the Santa Fe Federal Savings & Loan building designed by E. Stewart Williams in 1960. Located in downtown Palm Springs, it was reopened as the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center, Edwards Harris Pavilion (300 S Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262, 760-423-5260) in 2014.
This
hub of the museum’s exploration of architecture and design features
related exhibitions and educational programs.
The collection also includes Frey House II, the historically significant residence in Palm Springs that architect Albert Frey designed for himself in 1963 and bequeathed to the museum upon his death in 1998.
Accredited by the American Association of Museums, the Palm Springs Art Museum has 28 galleries, two sculpture gardens, four classrooms, a resource centers, an artists center, five storage vaults, a 85-seat lecture hall, a 433-seat theater, a 1,000 square-foot store, and a popular local bistro.
A
variety of educational programs and activities will take place in
connection to the Palm Springs iteration; additionally, the museum’s
annual gala and biggest fundraiser on January
26, 2020 will be Girard themed in décor and ambience to bring
even greater attention to the exhibition.
Alexander Girard: A Designer’s Universe‘s global sponsors are Herman Miller and Maharam. Palm Springs Art Museum’s presentation is organized by Brooke Hodge, Director of Architecture and Design, with generous support from Joan & Gary Gand. Additional support is provided by Ellen Donaldson.

The
Nashville Flood: Ten Years Laterwill
reflect on the historic 2010 flood in which a record-breaking
rainfall caused the Cumberland River to crest almost twelve feet
above flood stage. Thousands of homes and business were damaged or
destroyed, and twenty-six people in the region died, eleven in
Nashville. This exhibition will examine the event’s immediate and
long-term impact on the city through photographs and excerpts of oral
histories from the Nashville Public Library’s flood archive and The
Tennessean newspaper
with a focus on ten different zip codes, corresponding to Antioch,
Belle Meade, Bellevue, Bordeaux, and other locations in addition to
downtown Nashville. A section of “now and then” photos will
illustrate the recovery, or lack of progress, in each area.
Volunteerism, rescue efforts, inequities in disaster relief, and the
rebuilding process will be addressed.
J.M.W.
Turner: Quest for the Sublime
February
20–May 31, 2020
Ingram
Gallery (Organized
in cooperation with Tate)
Joseph
Mallord William Turner (1775–1851)
was a central figure in the Romantic movement and is considered to be
among the greatest landscape painters in Western art. Long admired
for his ingenuity, originality, and passion, Turner strove to convey
the feeling of awe aroused by nature’s immensity and power—its
palpable atmospheres, pulsating energy, the drama of storms and
disasters, and the transcendent effect of pure light. On view in
Quest
for the Sublime are
seminal oil paintings, luminous watercolors, and evocative sketches
selected from Tate’s Turner Bequest. The exhibition conveys
highlights of the artist’s career, from vertiginous mountain scenes
and stormy seascapes to epic history paintings and mysterious views
of Venice.
Terry
Adkins: Our Sons and Daughters Ever on the Altar
February

Gordon
Contemporary Artists Project Gallery
at the Frist Art Museum and the Carl
Van Vechten Art Gallery at
Fisk University (Organized
by Fisk University Galleries and the Frist Art Museum)
Terry
Adkins: Our Sons and Daughters Ever on the Altar is
a survey of the late artist’s multidisciplinary practice, which
explored the intersection of music, art, and African American history
through sculpture, prints, performance, and video. Co-organized and
co-presented by the Frist Art Museum and Adkins’s alma mater Fisk
University forty-five years after his graduation, the exhibition will
feature works influenced by his time at Fisk, where he was mentored
by Harlem Renaissance pioneer Aaron Douglas, and signature “recital”
installations that pay tribute to musicians Bessie Smith and Jimi
Hendrix, both of whom had ties to Tennessee.
Jitish
Kallat
March
13–June 28, 2020
Upper-Level
Galleries
(Organized
by the Frist Art Museum)
The
internationally acclaimed Indian artist Jitish Kallat (b. 1974) is a
Mumbai native who produces installations, paintings, photographs, and
sculptures that often recall historic acts of speech. This exhibition
features his 2012 work Covering Letter, a haunting interactive
digital projection of a 1939 letter from Mahatma Gandhi to Adolf
Hitler that pleads for peace weeks before the outbreak of World War
II. In a darkened gallery, visitors will walk through the mist screen
on which the letter is projected, breaking the words apart. Covering
Letter was one of the works selected for India’s pavilion at this
year’s 58th Venice Biennale.
Mel
Ziegler: Flag Exchange
March
13–June 28, 2020
Upper-Level
Galleries
(Organized
by the Frist Art Museum)
Mel
Ziegler (b.
1956), the Paul
E. Schwab Chair of Fine Arts Professor at Vanderbilt University,
is renowned as a social and community engagement artist whose work
seeks to foster discourse and the sharing of ideas relating to
history, politics, and society. Flag
Exchange is
an installation of fifty American flags—one from each
state—suspended row after row from the ceiling and surrounding a
stage where museum visitors and special guests are invited to speak
or present performances relating to the meaning of the flag in their
own lives. The flags themselves symbolize a nation that has survived
tumult and stress. They were collected from 2011 to 2016, when
Ziegler periodically drove across the United States with a supply of
new American flags, offering a broad spectrum of society—from
suburban residents to farmers and small business owners—an
opportunity to receive new flags in exchange for their old torn and
weathered ones. Displayed in a gallery, the symbolism of rows of
tattered, irregular flags encourages reflection on America’s
identity, history, and future.
We
Count: First-Time Voters
May
23–October 4, 2020
Conte
Community Arts Gallery (Organized
by the Frist Art Museum)
On
August 18, 1920, the Tennessee state legislature voted to ratify the
19th Amendment to the US Constitution, which guarantees and protects
women’s right to vote. As the 36th state to approve the amendment,
Tennessee completed the two-thirds majority needed to make it the law
of the land. We
Count: First-Time Voters honors
the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment,
guaranteeing and protecting women’s constitutional right to vote by
highlighting the history of voting in the United States and the first
voting experiences of a diverse group of Nashvillians. Selected
individuals will share their stories with local artists—including
Beizar Aradini, Megan Kelley, Jerry Bedor Phillips, Thaxton Waters,
and Donna Woodley—who will create visual representations of these
voting experiences in a range of mediums.
Designing
the New: Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow Style
June
26–September 27, 2020
Ingram
Gallery
Charles Rennie Mackintosh Port Vendres—La Ville, ca, 1925–26. Pencil and watercolor on paper 34 7/8 x 26 7/8 x 1 1/8 in. Glasgow Museums: Bought from the Mackintosh Memorial Exhibition, 1933, 1856
At
the end of the nineteenth century, the Glasgow
Style emerged as the major manifestation of Art
Nouveau in Britain and established Glasgow as the
Second City of the Empire. This exhibition showcases Charles
Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928)—the greatest exponent of the
Glasgow Style—as an architect, designer, and artist, and
contextualizes his production within a larger circle of designers and
craftspeople in the major Scottish city. Mackintosh worked most
closely with his wife, Margaret
Macdonald (1864–1933); Margaret’s sister, Frances
Macdonald (1873–1921); and Frances’ husband, James
Herbert McNair (1868–1955). They met as students at the
progressive Glasgow School of Art in 1892 and together were known as
The Four.
Combining
influences from the Arts
and Crafts Movement, Celtic
Revival, and Japonism,
Glasgow artists created their own modern design aesthetic synonymous
with sleek lines and emphatic geometries expressed in a wide range of
materials. The exhibition presents 165 works of fine and decorative
art, including architectural drawings, books, ceramics, furniture,
posters, textiles, and watercolors, drawn from Glasgow’s most
significant public and private collections.
Designing
the New: Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow Styleis
a touring exhibition co-organized by Glasgow
Museums and
the
American Federation of Arts.
Support for the US national tour is provided by the Dr.
Lee MacCormick Edwards Charitable Foundation.
Bethany
Collins
June
26–September 27, 2020
Gordon
Contemporary Artists Project Gallery
(Organized
by the Frist Art Museum)
Chicago-based
artist
Bethany Collins
(b. 1984) explores the historic intersection of language and racism
in her multimedia practice. She often manipulates and reprints
existing written documents—such as the leading daily newspaper in
Birmingham, Alabama, during the 1960s or the U.S. Department of
Justice’s report on the Ferguson, Missouri, police department—to
critique the accuracy and completeness of official records. Collins’s
artist book America:
A Hymnal(2017)
features 100 different versions of “My
Country ‘Tis of Thee”
written since Rev.
Samuel F. Smith published
the original lyrics in 1831. The multiple reinterpretations of this
patriotic anthem—most in support of a particular political or
social cause—offer opportunities for reflection on what it means to
be an American, a particularly resonant topic during a presidential
election year.
Rina
Banerjee: Make Me a Summary of the World
July
24–October 25, 2020
Upper-Level
Galleries (Organized
by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the San José Museum
of Art.)
Indian-born
artist Rina
Banerjee (b.
1963) creates richly layered works made from materials sourced
throughout the world to reflect the splintered experience of
migration, identity, tradition, and culture often prevalent in
diasporic communities. In a single sculpture, one can find African
tribal jewelry, colorful feathers, light bulbs, Murano glass, and
South Asian antiques. This is the first major survey of Banerjee’s
work in the United States and includes large-scale installations,
sculptures, and paintings produced over two decades. While the works
can be enjoyed as vividly colored and sensuously layered sculptures,
they also address themes of multiple identities, feminism, the impact
of colonialism, cultural appropriation, and globalization.
African
Art from the New Orleans Museum of Art
October
23, 2020–January 17, 2021
Ingram
Gallery
(Organized
by the New Orleans Museum of Art)
Image Credit: Unidentified (Eastern Pende Peoples). Helmet Mask (kipoko), n.d. Wood and pigment, 15 x 11 x 13 1/2 in. The New Orleans Museum of Art: The Robert P. Gordy Collection, 88.46
The exhibition features more than eighty objects, including ancestral figures, masks, ceremonial costumes, headdresses, ritual objects and reliquary guardian figures, drawn from one of the most important collections of traditional sub-Saharan African art in the United States. Created by artists from Gabon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Mali and Ghana, these works of art are made from wood, ivory, stone, terra cotta, beadwork and brass. Displayed thematically—with contextual and archival photographs and video—the exhibition illuminates the various ways in which objects facilitate ancestral veneration, as well as the transmission and interconnection of artistic style.
Medieval
Bologna: Art for a University City
November
20, 2020–February 14, 2021
Upper-Level
Galleries (Organized
by the Frist Art Museum)
This
is the first museum exhibition in the United States to focus on
medieval art made in the northern Italian city of Bologna. Home to
the oldest university in Europe, Bologna fostered a unique artistic
culture at the end of the Middle Ages. With its large population of
sophisticated readers, the city became the preeminent center of
manuscript production south of the Alps and it helped bring about a
revolution in the medieval book trade. Manuscripts circulated in a
thriving market of scribes, illuminators, booksellers, and customers
operating mostly outside traditional monastic scriptoria. The
university initially specialized in law, and many law books were
illuminated in Bologna with brightly colored scenes. University
professors enjoyed high social status and were buried in impressive
stone tombs carved with classroom scenes.
The
approximately 65 objects in the exhibition span from 1250 to 1400,
from the first great flowering of manuscript illumination in Bologna
to the beginnings of the construction and decoration of the ambitious
Basilica of San Petronio in the city’s Piazza Maggiore. Lenders
include the Cleveland Museum of Art, J. Paul Getty Museum, Lilly
Library, New York Public Library, and University of Chicago Library.
The
exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue with seven essays, and,
while it is on view, the Frist Art Museum will host the Andrew Ladis
Trecento Conference, a biannual event that brings together historians
of medieval and Renaissance art from around the world.
