NOUVEAU ART IN THE SOUTH HALL - JUNE - JULY 2009

Celebrating Light  is the theme of the current Nouveau Art Show.  Nofa Dixon, Working Artist and Art Professor at University of North Florida,  was the juror.      The opening reception will be held from 5 - 8 p.m., on the Second Saturday Artrageous Artwalk. June 13th, at the Co-op Gallery, 18 N. Second St.    Make this beautiful exhibit and reception part of your tour.   The show will be on exhibit through July. 

Juror's Statement:  Although I always enjoy art work for a themed exhibition such as this,  Celebrating Summer, I tend to focus my selection on the quality of the work.  I look for the artists' intent, competent use of media, good design elements (composition), and an overall quality of a finished product.  Creating artwork requires a certain amount of adventure, self-confidence tempered with a certain amount of sophistication.  The latter element is the most important because it determines the success or failure of the art work.  It is always pleasing to find all of these elements present in the works submitted.  On the whole, I felt that the exhibition selected represents some stretch for the participants; however, I would like to have seen more of an effort to experiment with concept and media.  I congratulate all those who entered work into this competition.  Most of all I would like to congratulate those whose work is included..............Finally I would like to invite the Art Association for inviting me to select the art work and commend the organization for providing this opportunity for its members......(signed) Nofa Dixon
