A. Gomez
Artspace in Raleigh, NC, will present the exhibition, NEW WORKS: A Juried Exhibition of Works by Members of the Artspace Artists Association. The exhibit will be on display in the Center's Gallery 1 from Jan. 17 through Feb. 28, 2004. The juror for the show is Ashley Kistler, Curator at the Hand Workshop Art Center in Richmond, VA.
New Works is an annual juried exhibition for members of the Artspace Artists Association. The Association is a professional artist membership organization. Artists are accepted into the membership through a jury process that occurs twice per year. The exhibit represents work created within the past twelve months. It is an opportunity for Artspace Artists to present their most current and innovative work.
This year's juror, Ashley Kistler, was appointed Curator at the Hand Workshop Art Center in the spring of 1999. She previously served as Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, having joined the museum's staff in 1984. Since then, she has organized over 50 exhibitions and a wide array of special programs, from symposia and artists' residencies to numerous film/video programs and performing arts events. Her exhibitions, some of which have traveled nationally, have featured the work of regional, national, and international artists in solo and thematic presentations. Kistler received a BA in Art History from Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA, and an MA in Art History and Museum Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
Kistler will be selecting a Best of Show award as well as two Awards of Merit. An award presentation will begin at 7pm in Gallery 1 during the First Friday Gallery Walk, Feb. 6, 2004.
