The Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) once again presents Rochester’s longest-running juried showcase of art by regional artists this summer. The 69th Rochester-Finger Lakes Exhibition premiers with an exclusive Members Opening Party on Friday, June 27, and will be open to the public from Saturday, June 28, through Sunday, October 5.
This year’s exhibition features works by ninety artists working across a range of media, showcasing the talent of the region’s vibrant creative community. Timothy Peterson (MAG’s inaugural Ann and Irving Norry Curator of Contemporary Art) served as the juror. Past exhibitions included notable artists whose works are now in MAG’s collection, including Hilda Altschule, Colleen Browning, Kathy Calderwood, Wendell Castle, Hans Christensen, Nancy Jurs, Albert Paley, Honoré Sharrer, Bill Stewart, and Fritz Trautman.
Westside artists in this year’s exhibition are: Kristen Adkins (Brockport), Laura Bishop (Brockport), Christian Carson (Brockport), Sara DiDonato (Brockport), Ron Ferrara (Spencerport), Nicole Rowley (Hilton), and Jessica Young (Hamlin). There are also several artists from across Rochester.
Exhibition artists are eligible for cash awards, including the $1,500 Memorial Art Gallery Award. During the first two weeks of the exhibition, MAG guests are invited to cast ballots for their favorite work, and the artist who receives the most votes will receive the Harris Popular Vote Award.
