41st Annual Laurel Art Guild Exhibition Open Juried Exhibition



Each year Montpelier Arts Center hosts an exhibition open to artists aged 18 and older who live in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia. It is chaired by a member of the Laurel Art Guild. This year I was juror, and spent a day going thru the entries. It was a surprisingly hard task to whittle down the selection - a very talented roster of artists submitted art for the competition, and 60 works were chosen for the exhibition. Virtually every medium is represented and the range of work is impressive.

I will be giving a brief gallery talk about the selection process on Sunday March 7 during the reception held from 2 pm -4 pm. The winners will be announced at that time as well. The reception is free and open to the public.

Artists scheduled to be shown:

Celestine Ranney-Howes, Melissa Burley, Jennifer Beinhacker Trisha Coghlan, Natalya Parris, Sharon Godlock, Martin Slater, Ardythe Jolliff, R. Teresa LaRocque, Kimberly Bursic, Carolyn Jackson, Pete Campbell, Christine Jacobs, Jeffrey P Coleman, Hans Guerin, Pauline Clatterbuck, Carol Clatterbuck, Crisley McCarson, Charles Reiher, Russ Little, Yolanda Koh, John Flournoy, Barbara Bell, Emlyn Davies-Cole , Nic Galloro, Thomas Burch, Karen Peacock, Susan Ellis, Emily Tarsell, Tod Renshaw, Mavreen K Veihmeyer, Theresa Harrison, Pat C Wilson, Linda Lawler, Sylvia L Valentino, Stephen Boocks, Ed L Cunnilis, Paul Giguere, Kathy Karlson, Harvey Duze, Linda Diane, Bruce Blum, Jim O'Connor, Meredith Osterman, Ron E Wilder, Beth deLoiselle, Sharon J Burton, Laurence Chandler, Lauren Kotkin, Jesse Berry, Joseph Hamilton, Daniel Bell, Lisa Orton, Joan Tarbell Plato, Jacqui Croetta, Amy Sferra, Lynne Slater, Roxana Sinex, Erin Antognoli

of the artists that submitted work for the 41st Laurel Art Guild - the only one that used glass as a sculptural medium was Melissa Burley Her work was given an Honorable Mention in this show and she is a resident artist at Montpelier Arts Center. - http://arts.pgparks.com/News.htm#melissa
Otherwise, the show had lots of photogs, painters and other media. If you are looking for glass artists - you can look at the Washington Glass School's website
