History exhibition at MU
History buffs may want to note that an exhibition, “Brotherhood and Sisterhood: The Art and Artifacts of Greek Letter Societies at Miami University, 1833-2008,” opens Saturday, Feb. 14, at the McGuffey Museum. Miami has been recognized for more than a century as the “Mother of Fraternities,” since four national fraternities and two national sororities were founded there. The McGuffey exhibition will focus on traditions and lore of Greek letter societies and includes badges and profiles of campus landmarks such as the Phi Delta Theta campus gates.
Local artist gets international recognition
Rosemarie Bloch, who was recently part of the “Topographies” exhibition at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts, has received a Special Recognition Merit Award for her artwork selected for the “11th Annual All Media Juried Online International Art Exhibition” hosted by Upstream People Gallery in the United States. Her submission to the competition was “Take Five,” a tribute to jazz musician Dave Brubeck, which was also part of the Fitton Center show.
Juror Larry Bradshaw, Professor of Art at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, said: “Rosemarie Bloch of Okeana, Ohio is quite the colorist. The intensity of her color palette is eye-catching, moreover the juxtapositioning of the five rectangular and square canvases strengthens the idea of her acrylic painting entitled “Take Five”.”’ The exhibition will be featured online at www.upstreampeoplegallery.com, until Dec. 31.
Calls for entry to Manifest Gallery exhibitions
Jan. 30 is the deadline for “Mythography: An Exploration of Narrative Art.”
Here’s the pitch: “Whether gathered around a campfire telling ghost stories, buried into an epic novel, or following the latest adventures of Spider-man, we are fascinated with stories, legends, myths and fables. Stories help locate us, form our personal identities and often operate as larger metaphors for reality. Throughout history, from the stately historic paintings of Jacques-Louis David to the provocative films of Matthew Barney, visual artists have offered a unique contribution to the telling of tales. Manifest enthusiastically invites national and international artists, working in any visual creative medium, to come tell a story.”
Manifest Gallery is also seeking submissions for:
Fifth annual “Rites of Passage: A Competitive Annual National Exhibition of Works by New Artists.” $300 Best of Show prize. Deadline is March 13. Complete entry info here.
Fifth annual “Magnitude Seven: An International Competitive Exhibit of Small Works.” Deadline April 24. Complete entry info here.
