The Woodmere Annual 76th Juried Exhibition

The Woodmere Annual is a juried exhibition open to artists living within 50 miles of the Chestnut Hill art museum. In it’s 76th year, Woodmere Art Museum selected a timely theme, and they “invited artists to submit work that contends with the importance of art in an era of heightened political uncertainty.” The exhibit is juried by Harry Philbrick who is the Founding Director of Philadelphia Contemporary. Michael Lieberman tells us more.

The Woodmere Art Museum – Past, Present, and Future

I came away from our meeting April 6 with the impression that Valerio is a thoughtful and imaginative person who is dedicated to engaging the community in the arts. He seems willing to take risks. He has an eye for the overlooked, for the unexpected, and he is committed to promoting local artists who are working outside of the mainstream. When so much of the art world is focused upon celebrities and established artists, and has become international, it is not a small blessing that the Woodmere is focused upon telling the story of the art and artists of Philadelphia.
