The Fr. Michael E. Komechak, O.S.B. Art Gallery is pleased to present its latest exhibition for the summer , May 1st – July 30th. The exhibition features a juried member competition of over fifty works of art, in a variety of media and style, by the group formerly known as Senior Artists’ Network(SAN). SAN was formed twenty-five years ago, in Chicago. Its purpose was to showcase the work of elder artists over the age of fifty-five, and present venues for them to display their art. Many of these artists have had long, productive careers in the arts, whereas some are exploring their creative muscles.
The group recently changed its name to the Chicago Alliance for the Visual Arts (CAVA) and is opening up its membership to include younger artists. Patricia O'Malley., former Director of the Renaissance Court Gallery in the Chicago Cultural Center, and SAN co-founder, helped to coordinate the competition. This year's jurors were Teresa Parker, Curator of the Komechak Art Gallery, and Jennifer Scavone, adjunct faculty at Benedictine University.
Works were selected for their vision, excellence of execution and originality.
