Painted Visions: Paintings by Award-Winning Massachusetts Artists September 27- October 21, 2007 Opening Reception: Thursday, September 27, 5 – 7 pm The Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) and The Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Gallery 51 will present Painted Vision: Paintings by Award-Winning Massachusetts Artists from September 27 - October 21, 2007 at Gallery 51 in North Adams. The exhibition showcases some of the Commonwealth’s most talented painters.
Painted Visions features ten painters recognized by MCC’s FY06 Artist Fellowship Program: Thaddeus Beal (Somerville), Ken Beck (Boston), William Ciccariello (Concord), Frank Egloff (Jamaica Plain), Vico Fabbris (Jamaica Plain), Massako Kamiya (Dorchester), Sandy Litchfield (Amherst), Janet Rickus (Barrington), Sarah Slavick (Jamaica Plain), and Lucy White (Springfield). These painters were selected from a pool of almost 400 applicants. The jurors included painters Eric Aho and SoHyun Bae, as well as curators Nick Capasso and Helaine Posner. “We’re pleased to partner with Gallery 51 in order to exhibit the work of these outstanding painters,” says Anita Walker, MCC’s Executive Director. “It’s clear that painting continues to be a thriving art form here in the Commonwealth. From exquisitely rendered still-lifes to delicately rendered abstraction, this exhibition showcases the range of creative thinkers we are fortunate to support.” MCC Artist Fellowships provide direct assistance to Massachusetts artists working across a range of disciplines, to recognize exceptional work and to support the further development of their talents. Artist Fellowships give individuals the financial ability to hone and deepen their craft. Samples of the artists’ work can be found on Gallery@MCC, the MCC’s online showcase of Artist Fellowship awardees and finalists, available at www.massculturalcouncil.org/gallery.asp. Painted Visions is free and open to the public.
