DCAC’s Curatorial Initiative program has given aspiring curators the opportunity to work with and be mentored by established and experienced curators since 2006. The resulting exhibitions have brought over 200 artists to our gallery, and in celebration of those shows, we have assembled a small sampling of their work. Featuring artists: Adrienne Gaither, Jerry Truong, Jessica Beels, Justin D. Strom, Kathryn McDonnell, Lisa Hill, Michael Hill, Michael Matason, Sondra N. Arkin, Suzanne Izzo, Thomas Drymon.
Join us on November 18 for a reception to celebrate the arrival of a two-volume collection of all the catalogs from Curatorial Initiative exhibitions from 2006 to 2016. Several of the artists will be on hand to discuss their work, and there will be a brief discussion about the program and its resonance in our community.
