Whistler House Museum of Art's Fall/Winter Juried Members Exhibition 2019 is currently on view through January 25, 2020. This exhibition features artworks from members of The Lowell Art Association, Inc.(LAA), the oldest incorporated art association in the country. Academic, critic, and mentor in Art History and Museum Studies Kim S. Theriault is the juror for this exhibition, having selected over 90 works from more than 250 submissions by over 100 artists. Though the chosen works passed Theriault's criteria, which included technique, composition, perspective, color and originality, the pieces differed from each other in every other aspect. The method, subject, and media used vary from one artwork to the next, creating a wide range of perspectives. "Each year the Lowell Art Association membership grows and the body of work becomes more and more impressive," says President and Executive Director Sara Bogosian. Fall/Winter Juried Members Exhibition 2019 is a showcase of talent, and every viewer is sure to find a piece that captivates them. Whistler House Museum of Art is located at 243 Worthen Street in Lowell, Massachusetts, and is open WednesdaySaturday 11:00 a.m.4:00 p.m. For more information, visit whistlerhouse.org/parker-gallery/fall-winter-juried-members-exhibition-2019.
