Tang looking for local pieces
Updated Wednesday morning
The Tang Museum at Skidmore has an exhibition called "For You" coming up in June that will feature local works by artists who have passed away. And they're looking for your help. From the site blurb (emphasis added):
This summer, the Tang will present a unique open call exhibition of artwork created by artists who have passed away, but whose work and memory continue to impact individuals in the greater Capital Region. Entitled For You, the exhibition is inspired by Troy resident Bruce Ottmer, who sat on the corner of Lark Street in Albany holding a painting by his late wife, Claire Durani Nack. Determined to bring her painting to a larger audience, but unable to find a venue to exhibit it, Ottmer decided to sit on the street and share the painting with passersby. Motivated by Ottmer's dedication, the Tang is organizing For You to give locals like Ottmer a venue to exhibit work made by loved ones, while simultaneously celebrating the lives and talents of the artists.
The submission process starts next Monday. There are details on the Tang site.
(Thanks, StickFigureMan! And Summer!)
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
Comments
Note: the website indicates that it's only for artists who have passed away.
Editors: You're right to point that out. We thought that was in the blurb, but we over-clipped. It's fixed now. Thanks
