Print Group at the Merrick
April 14, 2009
Fifteen member artists had their work exhibited at the Print Group's show at the Merrick Art Gallery in New Brighton, Pa., from March 1 through March 22. The show was organized by John Hanna, Print Group president and a member of the Merrick Board of Directors, with help with hanging and tear down from Sharon Wilcox, Paula Garrick Klein and Megan O'Brien.
Artists showing were: John Dorinsky, Sharon Wilcox, Megan O'Brien, Chris Calligan, Sandy Kessler Kaminski, Eileen Yeager, Fumina Hora, Paula Garrick Klein, Thomas J. Norulak, John Hanna, Sun Young Kang, Marsha Fidoten, Nancy Flury Carlson, Judi Charlson and Susan Winocur.
For those of you who were unable to get to see the show, it was held in the Merrick's main gallery, where most of the gallery's permanent collection of late 18th and 19th century paintings are displayed salon style. The Print Group's 43 contemporary prints provided an interesting complement to the museum's extensive collection of realistic and romantic American and European art.
The Print Group invited Beaver County high school art students to show their prints in a separate area in the same gallery. Sixteen pieces were submitted from four schools. Although the quality of all of the student works in general was judged to be quite high, the Print Group handed out four Juror's Awards, each of which carried a $25 honorarium.
The PPG show was well-received by the Merrick and attracted a high number of visitors. Thanks to all who participated in this show.
