6th Annual Juried Show Exhibition
Beam Me Up
February 3 - 27, 2016
First Thursday Artwalk: February 4, 5 - 8pm
Artists' Reception and Presentation of Awards: February 6 , 5 - 7pm
From the juror: Poring over the 1500-plus works submitted by artists nationwide was like receiving messages from sentient life on other planets. How surprising, then, to find so many out there touched by the very issues resonating in the mainstream art world.
Prominent among these are the fusion of fine art and craft, the zen aesthetics of minimalism, a taste for the naïve and abject, and the desire to portray minority experiences of all kinds. Other makers seem eons away, buried in their own memories or art styles of the past. Still others are operating on the frontier, experimenting with digital technologies towards forging an art of the future.
