EXHIBITION BY ARTISTS OF THE MOHAWK-HUDSON REGION
June
21-August 10, 2008
The 72nd EXHIBITION BY ARTISTS OF THE MOHAWK-HUDSON REGION
will be presented by the Albany Institute of History & Art from June 21
through August 10, 2008. Established in 1936, the MOHAWK-HUDSON
REGIONAL is one of the longest running regional exhibitions in
the country. This annual, juried exhibition occupies a major
role in the history of contemporary art activity in the Upper Hudson
Valley.
The juror for the
2008 REGIONAL will be the internationally renowned American
sculptor, Joel Shapiro.
Highlighting the work of many of the artists working within a 100-mile radio of Albany, the exhibition rotates every three years among the Albany Institute, the University Art Museum at the University at Albany, and the Hyde Collection. The REGIONAL has become a barometer of contemporary art as well as a means of support for emerging and established artists in our community. Many local arts patrons and businesses provide cash prizes and gift certificates that the juror awards to selected artists. This recognition is essential to the growth and vitality of the arts in the Capital Region.
From
the 2007 EXHIBITION BY ARTISTS OF THE MOHAWK HUDSON REGION,
presented by the Albany International Airport Gallery, the
Albany Institute selected two works by Doretta M. Miller to receive the
museum's Purchase Award. Miller is Professor of Art and Art
History at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs.
