Annual Wabash Valley Juried Exhibition opens July 10

Anonymous The Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Thu Jun 24, 2010, 11:00 PM EDT

TERRE HAUTE — The 66th Annual Wabash Valley Juried Exhibition, made possible by First Financial Bank, opens July 10 and runs through Sept. 4 at the Swope Art Museum in downtown Terre Haute.

The public awards ceremony and opening reception will be 4 to 6 p.m. July 10. The awards will be presented at 4 p.m., followed by a party.

Guests can enjoy hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar and the opportunity to mingle with the artists. The opening reception is free as is admission to the galleries.

“This annual exhibition gives the museum the opportunity to showcase the amazing and diverse talent that exists here in our region. It is always a fantastic array of art, with something for everyone, and this year is no exception,” said Brian Lee Whisenhunt, executive director of the Swope.

One of the oldest juried exhibitions in Indiana, the annual Wabash Valley exhibition accepts up to three submissions, in any fine art medium, from artists living within a 150-mile radius of Terre Haute. 

This year, 89 artists submitted 254 works of art for consideration. Selections for the exhibition are chosen by an impartial judge from outside the region working from digital images.

This year, the judge selected 53 works of art representing 50 artists from Indiana and Illinois. For accuracy, the judge selects juror’s awards in person after the works of art have been delivered to the museum. Sixteen sponsors donated juror’s awards and two sponsors selected purchase awards.

This year’s juror is Gregory Gilbert, associate professor and director of the art history program at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., and senior curator of the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, Iowa, where he is director of the National Center for Midwest Art and Design.

“The eclectic scope of artistic languages and media in this show suggests the presence of a local cultural environment that has encouraged and supported differing creative visions and sensibilities …,” said Gilbert.
