My name is Robert Roberg. I am an English professor at the University of Florida and I am a 3-D Fluorescent Artist.

My team and I would like to create America’s first fluorescent 3-D art museum. I have been doing fluorescent black light art for many years and about ten years ago discovered Chroma Depth glasses, and by following their web tutorials, have been able to transform my  art into 3-D black light paintings. We are looking for space  to convert into a not-for Profit museum in The Village of the Arts  in the "Bradenton Florida .

The village of the Arts is "Florida's largest Art colony". The Village contains over 35  art studios. Our goal is to purchase a house, or building, and turn it into a museum.

We need your help. In order to purchase and prepare the museum we estimate we will need $160,000.00. This will include remodeling a space, lighting, fees for legally incorporating locally, statewide and federally.  Within the first year we plan to apply for non-profit status. The non-profit will own the house and the museum will be administered by a board. We will offer classes in many genres of art with a special emphasis on children.

I have two paintings in the Smithsonian Museum of Art and one of my paintings appeared on the front page of the New York Times. I say this to show that I am a serious and recognized artist. 

Please contribute to this once in a life time project. You will be enriching the community, educating children and preserving a unique art form.
