CAMBRIDGE ART ASSOCIATION EXHIBITION - May 16 - June 26, 2014
TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!
Come celebrate the opening of the Cambridge Art Association's 13th National Prize Show this evening, Friday May 16, from 6-8pm. Mix and mingle with exhibiting artists, community members, and our fantastic juror, James Welu!
Gallery locations:
Kathryn Schultz Gallery 25 Lowell Street, Cambridge
University Place Gallery 124 Mt Auburn Street, Cambridge
(The distance between the galleries is 0.6 miles, or a 10 minute walk!)
From our juror:
Jurying the National Prize Show was exciting and challenging--exciting to see such a wide range of art from across the country, but challenging to narrow a field of over a thousand entries to an exhibition of about 85 works. In my selection I focused on visual impact and originality with the goal of representing the variety of media that was submitted. I was particularly attentive to the artists' choice and use of medium for expressing the subject of their work. It was reassuring to see so many fresh and innovative approaches to a number of traditional subjects. Also impressive were the number of outstanding abstract paintings. I want to convey my appreciation to the many artists who entered the National Prize Show and congratulate those who made the cut, in particular the prize winners.
