Juried Show 2021
This summer, the Gallery at the Park presents its annual Juried Show, which runs July 6 through August 20.
The Gallery received 223 entries from 78 different artists across the region. Nicole Pietrantoni, the juror for 2021, selected 44 pieces for exhibition.
“The works selected represent a broad range of engagements with contemporary concerns,” Pietrantoni states. “Whether about the pandemic, place and landscape, or finding joy and beauty in the everyday—the selected artworks represent an attention to and reflection of the world around us.”
Pietrantoni received her MFA and MA in Printmaking from the University of Iowa and her BS in Human and Organizational Development and Art History from Vanderbilt University.
She is the recipient of numerous artist residencies and awards including a Fulbright to Iceland, an Artist Trust Fellowship, a Larry Sommers Printmaking Fellowship, a Leifur Eiríksson Foundation Grant, the Manifest Prize, and a Graves Award for Excellence in Humanities Research and Teaching.
Her art has been in over 100 national and international exhibitions, and she has had solo exhibitions at the Coos Museum of Art, Kimball Arts Center, the Lamar Dodd School of Art, and the San Juan Islands Museum of Art.
