Silvermine Arts Center – 69th AONE I first visited Silvermine Arts Center twelve years ago when I was invited for a tour. It is a truly magical place. Being invited to be the Juror for the 69th AONE exhibition is a great honor. It was exciting to have the opportunity to choose the works that would be included in such a prestigious show, to be installed in Silvermine’s elegant galleries. There were over 360 extremely diverse submissions, from all over the country. The biggest surprise was the quality of the work. I did not expect that the majority of the art submitted would be of such a high level of seriousness and sophistication. It made the process of selection both satisfying, and difficult.

With an exhibition of this nature, it is impossible to come up with a single theme. I made my choices with the goal of a show that is balanced and well curated, with works that are in an interesting, and dynamic, dialogue with each other. There was a very wide range of mediums and approaches, and I made sure to include the best examples of each category: abstract painting, figurative painting, photography, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, collage, etc. I wanted the exhibition to be a cohesive survey of the current state of visual art making. Every artist in the show speaks with a clear, and uniquely individual, voice. The individual works in the exhibition, in every case, reward the viewer and demand a second look.

Getting to view so many fine works of art was a wonderful experience. It is a great pleasure to have been able to give the chosen artists this important opportunity to present their work with such an esteemed organization as Silvermine Arts Center.

Silvermine Arts Center is a nearly century-old organization dedicated to excellence in art and art education that inspires creativity and builds community. Located on five bucolic acres, Silvermine encompasses a School of Art with over 4,000 annual enrollments; an Outreach Education Program serving 1,000 under-resourced students annually; a Guild of over 300 professional artists; an outdoor Sculpture Walk; a permanent print collection; and five free, public galleries exhibiting contemporary art.

Silvermine has been a place for artists to gather since 1906 when visionary sculptor Solon Borglum moved to the area and held annual exhibitions in his studio and weekly artist-critiques called the Knockers Club. In 1922 The Silvermine Guild of Artists was incorporated as a not-forprofit to provide a permanent and supportive community of artists. Guild members represent artists that have a high level of accomplishment and are selected through a jurying process.

Our Galleries have exhibited and involved art luminaries such as Joseph Albers, Gabor Peterdi, Milton Avery, Elaine deKooning, Clement Greenberg, Louise Nevelson, Larry Rivers, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Faith Ringold, James Rosenquist, Chuck Close, Philip Johnson, and many others. The Galleries continue to expand on our heritage by presenting visually compelling exhibitions of art by emerging and internationally recognized artists, accompanied by programs that encourage appreciation of art and its role in society. Our layered, approach includes programs tailored to make our exhibitions meaningful, accessible, and enjoyable for diverse audiences of every age and background. Many of our landmark exhibitions are juried by distinguished guest curators. All of our exhibitions offer opportunities for visitors to connect with art and each other through an exploration of ideas.

What attracts artists, students, and visitors to Silvermine is the pivotal role it plays as an inclusive gathering place that deepens understanding through the arts. Silvermine is grateful for the generosity of its supporters.

Gifts ensure excellence now and for generations to come.
