Juried Portrait Photography Show

11/15/2014

November's exhibition at Spitzer Art Center is the Juried Portrait Photography Show. This show invited artists to submit work based on a theme of portraiture, without restricting what the theme meant.  Photographers and portrait-lovers, of all ages, came out to Spitzer Art Center for First Fridays, November 7, 2014,  to view a wide variety of portraits that one photographer called a community of portraits.

Forty portraits, from twenty-eight local artists, were chosen out of over eighty artist submissions!  The variety and mediums used in the selected pieces were unique, including one 3-D installation of plastic army men! 

The judges, Vada Kelley, Laura Purvis, Jauan Brooks and Valerie Smith, did not find the judging process an easy task; it took the first judge over two hours to make the difficult decisions regarding which pieces to include in this Juried Show. 

The show will be on display for the month of November. 
Gallery hours are each Saturday from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm.
