FINAL DAYS FOR THE RAC MASTERS SHOW! Thanks to all who joined us last night for our @ RAC Artists Talk with juror Jared Quinton joined by most of the artists included in this year's exhibition! He explains how the group "represents the remarkable diversity of art making in this community, while also reflecting some consistent themes: awareness of place, dedication to craft and playful, experimental approaches to familiar formats and materials." He was particularly drawn to the many RAC member artists who work within the landscape tradition – one of the genres he associates with “Connecticut art” – and "found ways to expand, transform and make it their own." Jared also chose "photographers capturing their surroundings in ways that exceed what our eyes can perceive, to painters placing abstraction in dialogue with impressionistic representation of nature." Come visit the gallery today/Friday 12 to 5 pm and tomorrow/Saturday 10 am to 1 pm) and view everything in our online gallery on our website!
