Juried Artists Announced for Haggin Museum Exhibition

The Haggin Museum Exhibiton, August 2 – September 16, 2018, is unlike any previous AWA show. The museum requested that artists submit works inspired by 13 of the museum’s iconic works from the 19th- and 20th-Century; works by William Merrit Chase, Rosa Bonheur, Jean-Leon Gerome and George Inness, to name a few. Jurors for this show were Ann Larsen, Cathy Ferrell, and Kathy Lemke Waste. 

“I had the honor of jurying the Associates and Associates with Distinction entries for the Haggin Museum show,” Cathy Ferrell wrote, “and found the wide variety of subjects, mediums and styles interesting and a challenge to chose the best of the best. With congratulations to those who juried into the show — and to those who didn’t, congratulations on your work, never give up, keep painting, entering, and enjoying this grand adventure in art!

The following artists have been accepted into the museum’s show, titled Full Sun: American Women Artists Illuminate the Haggin Museum. The opening reception will take place August 2, from 6 – 8 pm., at 1201 N. Pershing Avenue, Stockton, California.
