The Jury’s In: An Exhibit of Artist-Jurors

Carol FitzSimonds - From the Pages - Wonder

The Bristol Art Museum is sponsoring an exhibit at the Rogers Free Library featuring the work of jurors who have judged Bristol Art Museum exhibits over the past two years at the Library. The nine artists have been invited to display their work in a group show in the Community Galleries of the Library from Tues., Oct. 10 to Wed., Nov. 29. 
Artists to be featured in the exhibit include Carol Strause FitzSimonds; Cindy Wilson;  Jeanne Cardarelli Raimondi; Kathy Hodge; Rina Naik, Melanie dai Medeiros, Anne Tait, Elizabeth O’Connell, and Mark Wholey.
“The Bristol Art Museum is pleased to feature in a group exhibit the creative expressions of jurors for its previous shows,” said Vicky McGrath, Bristol Art Museum Board Member. “This exhibit in the Community Galleries of the Rogers Free Library provides another venue in Bristol to showcase the arts and culture of our community. We again thank the artists for their participation in this exhibit to enhance the local arts offerings in the East Bay.”
The exhibit also includes a sculpture, “Woman Reading Without a Chair” created by artist Mark Wholey. The 8’ tall painted wood figure “puts an image to how a good read can be magical and transport the reader to another realm, another reality, another place in time,” said Wholey. “At the same time, referencing by extension, to the Earth’s gravity leading to the importance of the Earth and how it supports the balance of life.”
