Opening Reception – Annual Juried Members Show

Every member who submits is guaranteed a place in the show. That principle defines Art Center Sarasota's Annual Juried Members Show, and this opening reception unveils it across all four galleries. With no assigned theme, the exhibition becomes a broad census of what the membership is making: painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, fiber, collage and mixed media, with longtime exhibitors hanging beside first-timers. The juror, Sarasota muralist Alissa Silvers, picks the award winners, from first place through honorable mention. All of the work is for sale, so the reception is as much a marketplace as a party.
