ABOUT WET PAINT 2011
Under the watchful eye of a technology driven society, online social networking and cyber interaction communities, a group of young artists have been evolving and redefining one of the oldest mediums of art. The National Wet Paint MFA Exhibition is an outlook and an overview of promising artists across the United States currently working in the medium of painting. Wet Paint refers to the idea that this is a fresh group of artists (MFA candidates/graduates) working in painting media.
Amanda Voltz
Wet Paint will pose the following questions: How is the next generation of artists redefining one of the oldest art mediums? How are new technologies impacting their painting materials, methods, techniques, processes and ideas? How are graduate programs in America reshaping painting? What does painting mean to a new generation? Wet Paint will highlight and give a forum to a new generation of artists working from traditional to experimental painting media.
ZHOU B SPIRIT AWARD
Emerging Artists of Excellence
The Zhou B Spirit Award celebrates the talent and innovative spirit of emerging MFA painters currently working in the united states. The award winners will be given an opportunity to mount a two person exhibition at the Zhou B Art Center (Fall 2011).
