JUROR OF SELECTION AND AWARDS
We are honored to have Jennifer A. Thompson, PhD, the Gloria & Jack Drosdick Curator of European Painting & Sculpture, and Curator of the John G. Johnson Collection, Philadelphia Museum of Art, as our Juror.
TIMELINE:Submission Deadline: May 15, 2021
Master Copies/Interpretations,” will be on view July 17 to August 15 at the Long Beach Island Foundation. We invite artists to submit to our major summer Gallery exhibition. Creating copies of masterworks as a learning experience is a time-honored tradition in the art world, and a serious endeavor for artists at all professional levels. Reinterpreting a masterwork is another strong tradition, as artists transform the way we see or understand the work by using different mediums, altering compositions, or riffing on a work from a satiric or humorous point of view. This exhibit invites entries in both categories: Master Copies / Interpretations. We envision a show of skilled copies and fun re-imaginings that will amaze & entertain a wide audience.
