Celebrate Art and Artists at the 35th Annual Emeryville Art Exhibition, a month-long juried exhibition featuring over 200 pieces of artwork created by 87 Emeryville artists.
"For our 35th anniversary, we feel it is important to be able to celebrate this milestone year with a live exhibition. Our artists and our community are so ready for this October tradition to resume, masks and all, " said Sharon Wilchar, exhibition coordinator. "Not only are we celebrating our 35th year, but also the 30th anniversary of the city's Art in Public Places Program and the city of Emeryville's 125th year. Emeryville is well known for its creative community and we are proud acknowledge this with our annual celebration."
For more than three decades the Annual Exhibition has been installed at a different location, each year donated by an Emeryville business. This year, for the 35th Annual Exhibition, CenterCal Properties LLC has generously offered the use of a 14,000 square foot space, conveniently located at the north end of the Bay Street Emeryville shopping district.
The art and artists of Emeryville continue to reflect the city's great creativity and diversity. Each year a panel of Bay Area art professionals selects the pieces for the annual exhibition though a jury process. The result is a carefully curated group show featuring the works of artists and craftspeople that live or work in Emeryville. The exhibition is open to artists of all media and includes paintings, sculpture, photographs, prints, ceramics, textiles, video, glass works, and literary arts.
"We are happy to be back in the 'real' world with a huge exhibition of work - the largest number of works in our 35-year history - all by Emeryville artists," said Kathleen Hanna, exhibition curator and juror. "Some bright new artists will be showing this year as well as exciting new works from some of the artists who have exhibited in the past."
