SOUTHLAND
at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art
Southland examines the role photographs have played in the visualization of the natural landscape of the American South. The exhibition explores the many technical and aesthetic methods photographers have employed in approaching the subject of the Southern Landscape. Highlighting the marshlands in Louisiana, the beaches of Florida, the flatlands of the Mississippi Delta and the mountains of North Carolina and Virginia, the exhibition shows the landscape of the American South is as diverse as the people and culture of the region. Southland not only investigates the topographical physical characteristics of the land of the American South, but the metaphysical and emotional role romanticism plays in the understanding of landscape photographs made of and about the American South.

Idaho Rivers / Idaho Artists
A JURIED EXHIBITION
SEPTEMBER 13 - SEPTEMBER 28, 2024
JURIED BY KATIE LEE-KOVEN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & CHIEF CURATOR, NORA ECCLES HARRISON MUSEUM OF ART
This spring, SVMoA issued an open call to Idaho artists for a two-week exhibition on the theme “Idaho Rivers.” Katie Lee-Koven, Executive Director and Chief Curator for the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum at Utah State University, served as juror for the show, which features artwork by thirty-three Idaho artists and artist teams. The exhibition includes a collaboration with Two Toes, a creative studio based in Idaho and New York led by artists and designers Kika MacFarlane and Tala Schlossberg. Two Toes hosts regular retreats, or Idea Camps, for makers of all kinds, and this summer they led a group down the Salmon River. Artwork made by participants on the journey, including a kayak the group painted together, is part of the exhibition.

MADE IN VA BIENNIAL¬
JULY 12, 2024-JANUARY 5, 2025
Since 1994, the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art has celebrated the extraordinary talent of Virginia artists through its annual juried exhibition. Nearly 30 years later, this favorite tradition continues to thrive and evolve together with the immense creative talent found across the commonwealth. Now, Made in VA has transitioned to a biennial event featuring artwork created by Virginia artists in the preceding two years.
Every other year, we’re dedicating an expanded gallery space to the juried exhibition, enabling the Museum to showcase a wider range of artistic voices and visions. This expansion also means more prizes and professional opportunities for participating artists.
Now as in 1994, Made in VA reflects the Museum’s commitment to enriching and supporting the artistic communities in our region. This momentous occasion marks a new chapter in the Museum’s long history of fostering creativity and innovation.

katy Schneider at the smith college museum of art
Nine months by Katy Schneider on view in the permanent collection of Smith College Museum of Art
Widely acknowledged as one of the most important art collections at an American liberal arts college, the Smith College Museum of Art holds nearly 25,000 works of art, with particular strength in 19th- and early 20th-century art. From its establishment in 1879 as a contemporary American collection, Smith's holdings have served as an important teaching tool as well as a significant public and scholarly resource. More than 45,000 patrons visit the museum every year.
Katy Schneider’s work focuses on the power of light to tell stories. She is a twin in a family of nine. Growing up in a small NYC apartment, her paintings harken back to this upbringing: making the most of a small space, organizing chaos and uncovering human dynamics. She received a BA from Yale University and an MFA from Indiana University. Since 1990 she has taught all levels of painting and drawing at Smith College. She is a recipient of a Guggenheim and a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, and of awards from the National Academy of Design and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her work is in numerous collections, including The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the New Britain Museum of American Art and the Smith College Museum of Art. She exhibits her paintings nationally and has also illustrated several award winning children’s books. Among various awards she received the prestigious Bank Street College of Education’s Book Award for “Once I Ate a Pie” (Harper Collins), written by Newbury Award winning author Patricia MacLachlan and Emily Charest Maclachlan. Music is also part of her artistic practice. Bands include Jerks on the Loose: a Roches Tribute band, Katyland (original songs, voice, guitar, pedal steel guitar), and Fancy Trash (lap and pedal steel) with whom she recorded two albums: “3 Cheers for the Cheated” and “As Is.”

Conny Goelz Schmitt at the opening for Significant Geometries
Significant Geometries
Opening Reception: Thursday September 12, 5:30-7:30
Significant Geometries is an exhibition of artworks that utilize geometric shape as a vehicle to convey meaning in sculpture, painting, collage, and photography. The exhibiting artists are Helena Chastel, Paul D’Agostino, Will Holub, Seth David Rubin, Conny Goelz Schmitt, and Ellen Weider.
Conny Goelz Schmitt alludes to storytelling and knowledge in her ingenious sculptures created from vintage book parts. Ellen Weider’s paintings, distinctive in their mysterious arrangements of shape and color, suggest rarefied worlds and invite interpretation. Photographic works by Seth David Rubin transform landscape and explore points of view through arrangements of shaped reflections. Paul D’Agostino’s “Chromatic Alphabet” paintings consider language, text, narrative, and translation through precise arrangements of color and shape. Layered mixed media collages by Will Holub combine figural and abstract elements to discover interconnectedness amidst fragmentation and diversity. Sculptures by Helena Chastel are weighty or whimsical investigations of sacred geometry.

Mary Dondero, Curators' Notes
Look Harder, See More invites viewers to embark on a journey of discovery. In a society dominated by quick looks and superficial interpretations, this exhibition encourages deeper engagement with art. From hyper-realistic intricacies that demand close scrutiny to minimalist forms that challenge conventional perception, Look Harder, See More urges audiences to transcend the obvious and uncover the hidden depths of artistic expression.
In the realm of hyper-realism, artists meticulously render scenes and subjects with observational precision. Conversely, abstract minimalism strips away extraneous elements to distill essence and evoke contemplation, and figurative works offer glimpses into the human experience.
Within these varied approaches lies a common thread: the power of art to provoke thought, evoke emotion, and ignite imagination. As you navigate this exhibition, I encourage you to linger, to explore, and to allow yourself to be captivated by the stories woven into each artwork. "Look Harder, See More," will inspire curiosity, provoke contemplation, and awaken a deeper appreciation for the power of art.

Sherrie Wolf" work on view at the Parrish Art Museum
The Art of Food focuses on food as an essential cultural component that builds communities and fortifies human relationships. More than one hundred drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, and ceramics by thirty-seven artists from the Jordan Schnitzer Foundation will be exhibited. Among these are major postwar figures such as David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, and Andy Warhol; contemporary artists including Enrique Chagoya, Jenny Holzer, Alison Saar, Lorna Simpson, and Rachel Whiteread; and artists with deep roots in the East End of Long Island, including Robert Gober, Roy Lichtenstein, and Donald Sultan. The exhibition is organized by the University of Arizona Museum of Art and the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation.
The exhibition relates to the East End of Long Island’s distinguished history as one of the most important fishing and agricultural regions in New York State. The area was developed into agricultural land by the 1640s, and by the 1820s as many as 95 percent of the residents lived on farms. While Greenport and Sag Harbor were ports for trade and whaling, Peconic Bay was known for its fish and shellfish. Today, the East End remains an agricultural center, producing more than one hundred different crops, and an increasingly prominent wine region with more than sixty vineyards.
In conjunction with the exhibition and in celebration of the region’s agricultural history, special food events will be organized in partnership with the James Beard Foundation, local farmers, and food organizations, and will entail educational programming, workshops, and conversations featuring local and national thought leaders of the food community.
The Art of Food at the Parrish is organized by Corinne Erni, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator, Art and Education and Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs, with additional support from Kaitlin Halloran, Assistant Curator and Publications Coordinator.
