This lively presentation features more than three hundred works and showcases a variety of mediums. As in the traditional salon exhibition, works by established artists are shown alongside those of emerging talents and first-time exhibitors, offering a sampling of artistic practices within our community. This initiative provides an opportunity for audiences to support and celebrate the artists who live and work in our immediate region and for artists to sell their works. In turn, artists show their commitment to and support of Guild Hall. Early participants included James Brooks, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Alfonso Ossorio, Charlotte Park, Jackson Pollock, and many more. Guild Hall invites nationally and internationally recognized art professionals to select the Top Honors Award and Honorable Mentions. This year’s juror is Marcela Guerrero, DeMartini Family Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. The recipient of the Top Honors Award is given a future solo exhibition at Guild Hall. This exhibition is organized by Melanie Crader, museum director and curator of visual arts, with support from Brianna Hernández, museum registrar, and Claire Hunter, museum coordinator and curatorial associate. GALLERY HOURS: THURSDAY TO SUNDAY, 12-5 PM MUSEUM ADMISSION: $12 / $10 for Seniors, 65+ Free for Members, Children, Students, and Active Military & Veterans
