‘Wasserman Projects’ Director partners with Art Center for 95th All Media exhibit
Ann Arbor, MI (December 5, 2017) — The Ann Arbor Art Center’s annual All Media exhibition opens Friday, December 15, 2017 as a show juried by Alison Wong, Director of Wasserman Projects in Detroit’s Eastern Market.
The exhibition runs from December 15, 2017-January 13, 2018 in the 117 Gallery of the Ann Arbor Art Center, 117 West Liberty Street. The opening party is free and open to the public (6:00-9:00pm on December 15) and cash prizes will be given for three ‘Best in Show’ awards.
Now in the 95th year, the annual ‘All Media’ exhibition at the Art Center has a long and rich history. In an effort to showcase regional talent, artists from across the Great Lakes region were invited to submit their artwork for consideration through an open call for entry. Submissions were then reviewed by guest juror, Alison Wong through an anonymous jury process. From 600 submissions, Wong selected 36 artworks from 29 artists. Half of the exhibiting artists reside in Michigan, with the other half residing in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
“Each year we continue to be pleased with the diversity and creativity of the All Media artists. Alison Wong has an incredible artistic sensibility that resulted in a cohesive vision for the show. We are thrilled to continue this long Ann Arbor tradition.” – Megan Winkel, Gallery Director
