Studio Montclair presents "Viewpoints 2022"

originally published: 04/20/2022


(MONTCLAIR, NJ) -- Studio Montclair presents The 25th Annual Open Juried Exhibition, “Viewpoints 2022” - one of their largest and most distinguished exhibits. It will run from April 23 to May 27 at Studio Montclair Gallery. The show–featuring 50 works selected from more than 700 that were submitted--is comprised of a broad variety of media including painting, sculpture, mixed media, ceramics, works on paper, photographs, prints, and more.

Says curator Roger Tucker, “I believe that art is transformative. What’s exciting is how the visual and theoretical direction of today’s artists, and their evolving art practice, are informed by their nationality/ethnicity, the Internet, technology, rapidly evolving global political changes, the environment, and revised perceptions of gender. This global perspective delivers a wide range of unique and compelling artworks that make my ongoing involvement in art and art education a life’s mission.”

Participating artists include Allan Gorman, Amy Whitman, Amy Joyce Winkler, Ann Vollum, Barbara Martin, Barbara Shulman, Barbara Wallace, Charles Mulford, Chet Cheesman, Dara Tesse, Darrell Bowles, Elaine Denton, Gail Postal, Garry Grant, Gerald Hushlak, Jack Quinn, Jacqueline Hernandez, Jamie Greenfield, Jean-Paul Picard, Jelisa Peterson, Joan Diamond, Jon Gabry, Kirby Fredendall, Lindy Blanchard, Lisa G. Westheimer, Louise Noel, Lynne Buschman, Marybeth Rothman, Meridith Mcneal, Michael Scherfen, Michelle Floyd, Monique Sarfity, Pamela Moore, Pamela Zave, Patricia Hutchinson, Patricia Patzi, Robin Keller, Rodriguez Calero, Roxy Rubell, Ruth Frazier, Ruth Bauer Neustadter, Ry An, Sarah Van Vliet, Susan Adler, Tom Muscatello, Violet Maimbourg, Wil Swink, William Phipps
