2017 Left Coast Annual Opens at Sanchez Art Center
Sanchez Art Center is pleased to present the 2017 Left Coast Annual Juried Exhibition, on view from April 21 through May 21. Showing concurrently in the East Gallery is the 2016 LCA Awards Exhibition, featuring Andrea Borsuk and Victoria May. An opening reception will be held from 7 to 9 pm on Friday, April 21, with live music provided by the Blue on Green, featuring Rob Wullenjohn on guitar, Peggy Johnston on flute, and Bill Oaks on bass.
Susan Sayre Batton, Interim Director of the San Jose Museum of Art, served as juror for Left Coast Annual this year. Her task was no easy one—to select 50 artworks from the almost 800 entries submitted by 288 artists, all from the left coast states of California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. Juror Batton chose works in a variety of media, from photography and digital inkjet prints to mixed media and installations, with some large acrylic paintings adding strong color. Some of the largest 2D artworks are up to 5 feet wide, while the smallest is a diminutive 3” x 7.5”. The exhibit includes artists from Alaska, California, and Oregon. The public is invited to hear Batton discuss her jurying process and talk with the artists about their work on Sunday, May 21, at 3:30 pm.
Showing concurrently is the 2016 LCA Awards Exhibition, showcasing the work of Andrea Borsuk and Victoria May, award recipients chosen by 2016 juror Lucía Sanromán, Director of Visual Arts at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. This year’s LCA winners coincidentally happen to be friends. Rather than divide the hallway of the exhibition space into two halves, the two artists decided to each take a side of the hallway gallery and create a dialogue between the installations on their two walls. At the north end of the gallery, Borsuk drapes strings of tiny figures, seeming to hang from the clouds, across the horizon of her 30-foot black and white landscape mural. Across from this dreamy landscape, May creates round wire pillows of air that extend out from the walls. In the south half of the gallery, May hangs boxes of found textiles and other objects that are both hauntingly familiar and perplexing. On the opposite wall are Borsuk’s gestural acrylic landscape paintings that, on closer inspection, reveal tiny embedded worlds and figures.
Come to the reception on April 21 and make some art of your own by participating in our Community Art Project, titled Pacifica Art. Your creations will be displayed at Sanchez Art Center during 2017.
The public is invited to Sanchez Art Center Open Studios on Mother’s Day, May 14, from 11 to 5 pm. There’ll be a number of artist demonstrations showing how each artist works or to demonstrate a particular technique or medium.
Sanchez Art Center is located at 1220 Linda Mar Boulevard in Pacifica, about a mile east of Highway 1. Following opening night, the galleries are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 1–5 pm, and by appointment, through May 21.
