A History of SOLOS
SOLOS is one way in which the Arts Center celebrates the artistic talent and diversity of its artist members. Now in its tenth year, SOLOS is designed to discover and showcase new works of art by talented artists in the region, and also helps new artists discover the Westport Arts Center. The SOLOS exhibition has historically featured esteemed jurors including Richard Klein, Exhibitions Director of The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, CT, Patricia Hickson, the Emily Hall Tremaine Curator of Contemporary Art at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, CT, and Ian Berry, Associate Director and the Susan Rabinowitz Malloy ’45 Curator of the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College. The exhibition will feature a diverse range of works, including paintings, photographs, prints, sculptures, and mixed media. With entries from across the country, selected artists are from Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. The March 2016 Call For Entries generated over 160 proposals for consideration, and out of this pool of talent, eight artists were selected in total. Hyland’s selections included both established artists well known in the community as well as newer, emerging artists. SOLOS 2016 is sponsored by
