5th All Media Juried Exhibition
May 31 – June 28, 2018
In 2009 the first All Media Juried Exhibition ushered in a new exhibition format for the gallery. That first show featured a dynamic and diverse array of works from artists across our region. This time around is just as exciting as it was then. The show is spontaneous and participatory in ways that other exhibitions the gallery produces are not. We do not know who will submit work or how many works there will be to choose from, but we always expect something wonderful to happen in the process. This year, thirty-seven artists participated in the process, and a total of seventy-seven works were submitted for consideration. Kathrine Lovell, our juror chose forty-four works for this exhibition.
I would like to thank Kathrine for being our juror. As an artist, educator, and curator she brings unique insight and temperament to the jury process. She teaches, takes commissions, and works on projects that are specifically designed for reproduction. Formerly a designer and scene painter at Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, she currently teaches adult classes in decorative arts at the Newport Art Museum. She is committed to the process, to the time it takes to make something, the need to be true to oneself, and is always thinking about how to combine creativity, process, and the business of art in a way that is satisfying.
Kathleen Hancock
Director
Over the years I have juried many shows, and it is always exciting to see the vast variety of work that gets submitted. Every show has its own thematic parameter, but this show is the kind I like best, artists bringing in the best of what they've created to be judged alongside their peers and colleagues. This means there are lots of different ideas in the room, like lots of different, interesting conversations between artists and viewers. What fun to see so many ideas about color, form, line, pattern, size, media, and concept! I am amazed to see what has been fashioned in my own neighborhood while I've been thinking my own thoughts in my own studio.
This show was easy to choose works for, because there is so much good work and interesting work. I found myself wanting to add a lot of creations to my personal collection. What we ended up with is a show that I think holds together by color, for sure, and somewhat by mood, the works all kind of sing together.
Thank you to everyone who participated by submitting work (which is a brave thing to do, no matter how long you've been making and showing). The creative force is within all of us as a thoroughly human experience, within this show it can be seen as a dynamic energy that is transcendent, life affirming, vulnerable, revealing, humorous, and strong.
