VisArts - Rockville’s non-profit arts center is hosting a 25th anniversary
celebration to recognize the many artists, teachers, partners and collaborators
who have been integral to their success. As part of this celebration, VisArts
presents Review < > Renew, co-curated by Judy Greenberg and Jack
Rasmussen. This group exhibition brings together renowned artists who
brought critical regional success to the fledgling organization, Rockville Arts
Place (RAP). The artists selected for the exhibition all exhibited at RAP while
Greenberg was President of the Board and Rasmussen was Executive Director. The works will be shown in two galleries, the Kaplan and the Common Ground Galleries.
In the Kaplan Gallery, works
by Lisa Brotman, Manon Cleary, Sam Gilliam, Tom Green, Margarida Kendall, and
Joe Shannon will be on display. Early paintings and more recent works by the
artists will be exhibited alongside Paul Feinberg’s photographs of the artists 25
years ago and now. The paintings and photographs are accompanied by interviews
with the artists conducted by Feinberg. An earlier version of this exhibition,
inspired by the early RAP/VisArts shows, was recently exhibited at the American University
Museum, Washington, DC.
The Common Ground
Gallery will feature outstanding artists important to the
history of VisArts working in glass and clay, including Margaret Boozer, Robert
Devers, Tim Tate, and Mindy Weisel.
