Then & Now is a juried exhibit that focuses on the collaboration of two artists that are separated by a generation. The idea is to represent how a generational age gap has influenced both artists’ works. This exhibit will showcase the inspiration in works by artists that are related, teacher and student, mentor and mentee, friends, or any other type of connection. The art should reflect why both artists can work together, or their work has inspired one another and is shown in each other’s pieces. The artwork to be displayed in this show will have a meaningful connection between the two artists’ pieces. One of the ways is by collaborating on a single piece or to show how both artists have inspired each other in their works. Juror: Christopher Alessandrini is a writer and art critic from Lexington, Massachusetts. Currently based in New York, he works as managing editor of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's online magazine, Perspectives.
