Gallery Cards

  

As an art student at university (and through my jobs in four galleries) I seem to have amassed a hefty collection of gallery exhibit cards. They come in various sizes and formats and some of them are impressive miniature artworks worthy of framing. I once put several on a wall in an artistic pattern but, sadly, the poster putty I used eventually failed. One by one, day by day, they fluttered to the floor until I gave up and removed them all. Someday I will try again with another method. Here are the cards I made for my exhibits and a few from my favourites by other artists.

The Hidden Folk was an exhibit in

 March 2010 for Gallery Production 

class at WOU. I chose to 

place my work in the Allegro 

Cafe coffee shop in Werner 

Student Center. The 

theme of my artwork was

 folklore which began 

when I was reading Irish, 

German, and Russian folk-tales.

 

Declaration! - my first solo exhibit was with 

Silverton Arts Association's 

Borland Gallery in July 2008.

imaginaria was my Senior Thesis exhibit
May 2011.  I chose to display in the
Presidents Hall in the Administration building. 

There was less exposure there than
in other locations but I felt it was a good match.

Dialogue was an exhibit at WOU's Cannon Gallery

 in Campbell hall Feb – Mar 2013. 

 The artists are Ahmad Rafiei and Sahar Fatahi, 

accomplished painters who relocated 

from Iran to the U.S. and landed in Monmouth. 

I had the honor of installing the exhibit 

and I am especially proud of this card as it is my design.

 

Postcard for Silverton Arts Association's Fine Art Festival 2012. The artist's name is Tonya Smithburg.

 

Other Worlds: The Art was shown at WOU's 

Cannon Gallery Jan-Feb 2013. 

The exhibit was curated by Brandon Cline-Jones 

who assembled works by some of the finest 

illustrators in North America. He also designed the card.
