The “7th Annual Spring Juried Art Show” is a cornerstone of the James’ seasonal programming, transforming the historic Art Gallery space into a vibrant showcase of local and regional talent. The exhibition seeks to highlight a diverse range of styles, media, and perspectives, providing artists with a professional platform to display and sell their work. Artists selected for exhibition have the opportunity to win cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd places and honorable mentions, as well as “Best in Show.”
Juror Nancy Gruskin (b. 1968, U.S.A.) lives and works in Concord, Massachusetts. She received a BA in Art History and Studio Art from Connecticut College and an MA and a PhD in Art History from Boston University. Gruskin has exhibited throughout New England, New York, California and Washington State, and is currently represented by the Nancy Margolis Gallery. She teaches painting, collage, and sculpture at a number of institutions, including the Concord Center for the Visual Arts and Black Pond Studio.
Gruskin’s current work is based on direct observation, invention, and memory. Her paintings, collages, prints, and objects are informed by her interest in collecting and museum installations and displays. More of her work can be viewed at her website, nancygruskin.com, and on Instagram (@nancygruskin).
