FRESH 2021 JURIED EXHIBITION

BETTY AND HOWARD TAYLOR MAIN GALLERY | JANUARY 15 – MARCH 27, 2021

Summit Artspace launches its Winter 2021 Season with the virtual opening of five exhibitions in all five galleries at 140 E Market Street on January 15. While the building is closed to the public, visitors may view exhibits online at summitartspace.org or schedule a private tour of the galleries by emailing info@summitartspace.org.

The work in this exhibition pushes the boundaries of what art can be stylistically, conceptually, or technically, and challenge the viewer to see the world through a new lens. “There is diversity in terms of how the theme comes across in this exhibition,” explains juror Kelly Dietrick, artist-owner of Troppus Projects in Kent, OH. “There are moments where ‘fresh’ feels and looks like just that, and other moments where artists present a fresh perspective or take on issues that have remained more stagnant than one might have hoped, and the work reflects that visually.”
