Members’ Juried

The works submitted for this year’s Members’ Juried Exhibition were a collective testimony to the rich, cross-disciplinary community of artists in our region.

Whether driven by color, centered in cultural critique, or resplendent with the evidence of the artist’s hand, these select works on view represent contemporary conversations about process and materiality. They demonstrate the ways diverse styles and mediums can enrich one another. In this exhibition, we encounter themes of anxiety, identity, ecology, and uncomplicated joy in various shapes and forms. This multiplicity of creative expression secures true dialogue in the ongoing conversations about the enduring reach and import of visual art. – Kirsten Andersen and James Stanley

ABOUT JURIED EXHIBITIONS

Each year PAAM mounts upwards of 5 members’ open and juried exhibitions in which participants display their work alongside some of America’s most noteworthy artists.

These exhibitions represent the work of PAAM’s contemporary artist-members, many of whom live on Cape Cod either full-time or for part of the year. While the work varies greatly in media and approach, each artist-member joins a long roster of distinguished artists who have studied, taught, and exhibited at PAAM over the past 100 years. There is no submission fee for members’ exhibitions, but membership must be up to date.

Juried exhibitions at PAAM represent a smaller cross-section of member artists whose work has been chosen by a guest curator after being submitted. Each show reflects the aesthetic judgment and curatorial eye of the invited curator. Any member in good standing may submit their work for consideration. Except in special circumstances, Juried exhibitions do not have themes or size restrictions.
