See intriguing new work in photography, painting, conceptual art and mixed media installation by the five recipients of the 2006-07 MCAD/Jerome Foundation Fellowships for Emerging Artists starting Oct. 19, 2007 at MCAD Gallery.
"MCAD/Jerome Artists 2006-07" runs through Nov. 25 and opens with a reception on Friday, Oct. 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. Both the exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
Bryant, Lesteberg, Lundin, Sheets and Young were selected last October by a jury of three arts professionals: Rico Gatson, a Brooklyn-based artist; Eungie Joo, director and curator of education and public programs at the New Museum in New York; and Diane Mullin, associate curator at the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.
A panel discussion with the five artists is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 6 p.m. in MCAD Gallery. Like the exhibition, it is free and open to the public.
The MCAD/Jerome Foundation Fellowships for Emerging Artists program was established in 1981 with the purpose of identifying and rewarding emerging visual artists across Minnesota who have not yet attained professional acknowledgement commensurate with the quality of their work.
