Annual Emeryville Art Exhibtion

Description

Emeryville Celebration of the Arts, Inc. announces the Annual Emeryville Art Exhibition, a juried show featuring works of more than 100 artists and craftspeople - both established and emerging - who live or work in Emeryville. This year marks the 29th anniversary of the Exhibition showcasing an impressive and varied array of paintings, sculptures, photographs, ceramics and textile works. This year’s show will again expand its celebration of the arts to include poetry readings and dance performances.

The exhibition represents the unique character of Emeryville, a city that is small in size but grand in the scale and spirit of its collective creativity. The individual pieces of artwork in the Annual Emeryville Art Exhibition demonstrate the range of Emeryville artists and show their engagement with a host of aesthetic, political, and social concerns. This inclusive citywide exhibition provides the opportunity to view the work of new artists showing along with continuing artists, resulting in a uniquely ‘Emeryville’ experience.

Along with the exciting collection of visual art, the 2015 Annual Emeryville Art Exhibition will also host poetry readings with Emeryville’s Poet Laureate Sarah Kobrinsky, joined by poets Tim Donnelly, Salame Samiat, Kathleen McClung, Vernon Keeve III and others, and will culminate on the closing day with a site-specific dance performance by Emeryville dance troupe Nancy Karp + Dancers.

Louise Stanley and John W Wood, painting; Joseph DiStefano, Jerome Ranft and Mark Galt, sculpture; Kazuko Watanabe and Linda Lee Boyd, prints; and Po Shun Leong and Kevin Wickham, furniture design. Works on exhibit are for sale.

A jury of art professionals selects the collection of work for the Annual Exhibition through artist studio visits. For the fifth year, independent curator and exhibition designer Kathleen Hanna is serving as curator and juror. “It is delightful to see powerful developments in the work of artists who return to the exhibition as well a the many new faces that continue to appear making each Celebration new and exciting,” said Ms. Hanna of her experience as curator and exhibition designer.
