People’s Gallery Exhibition 2010 opens
What to do with an architecturally interesting city hall? Fill it full of art of course.
Several years ago, the city of Austin’s Cultural Arts Division started the People’s Gallery Exhibition, a year-long juried show in Austin City Hall. Artwork in all media is considered by artists from the greater Austin area.
This year some 350 artists submitted more than 1,300 entries for consideration in the new exhibit. The three judges in the selection panel for the 2010 exhibition were: Sean Gaulagher, artist and co-founder of Cantanker Magazine; Andrea Mellard, assistant curator, Austin Museum of Art; and Risa Puleo, assistant curator, Blanton Museum of Art.
The opening reception is 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19. Austin City Hall is at 301 W. Second St.
The event will also feature the unveiling of the “2009 People’s Choice” selection by public vote from the previous exhibit. The artwork was selected among top voted works and will be added to the City Hall permanent art collection.
