THE 2015 NEW YORK STUDIO SCHOOL ALUMNI EXHIBITION, 3 JURORS = 3 SHOWS, PRESENTS THE CURATORIAL VISION OF THREE BUSHWICK JURORS

New York, NY, July 29, 2015 – The New York Studio School Alumni Association will open its 2015 Alumni Exhibition, 3 Jurors = 3 Shows, on August 7, 2015, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. This year’s jurors are: Jason Andrew, curator, co-founder and director of Norte Maar, Outlet Fine Art and manager of the Estate of Jack Tworkov; Yevgeniya Baras, painter and co-founder of Regina Rex Gallery; and Fred Valentine, painter and founder of Valentine Gallery and recipient of a 2014 Guggenheim Award.

A highlight of the show is the announcement of the Mercedes Matter Award winners on September 15th, chosen by Raphael Rubinstein, the New York-based poet, art critic and contributing editor at Art in America, and Thomas Micchelli, an artist, writer and co-editor of Hyperallergic Weekend. All events will take place at the New York Studio School located at 8 W. 8th St., New York, NY. The show will be open daily from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and will run until September 20, 2015.

“These three jurors will put together three separate shows from a group of extremely talented entrants from around the world. I think this will create our best exhibition yet,” said Larry Greenberg, co-chair of the Alumni Exhibition who is also the founder of Studio 10, located in Bushwick.

Many of the artists will welcome guest visits to their studios, which can be arranged by contacting Natacha Rousseau. According to Michael Tcheyan, co-chair of the Alumni Exhibition, “The opportunity to form a lifelong friendship with an artist, and support their efforts at the studio level is a uniquely rewarding way to participate in today’s art scene.”

About The New York Studio School
The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture occupies the building that housed the original Whitney Museum of American Art, located in the heart of Greenwich Village. The School was founded in 1964 by Mercedes Matter and grew to prominence through the efforts of art luminaries such as Philip Guston, Willem de Kooning, Alex Katz, and Milton Resnick. That powerful heritage continues today. Our current dean, the painter Graham Nickson, believes in strong advocacy for an artist’s unique sensibility developed through a disciplined studio practice, along with programs like the renowned Evening Lecture Series, the Drawing Marathons, and the Masters and Certificate programs, which have become synonymous with the present day School.
