Transformations: 12th Annual Betsy Meyer Memorial Exhibition
Opening on March 7, these artists have transformed, not only their own materials, but the galleries themselves into unexpected environments.
Talk and Reception: Friday, March 11
Talk & Gallery Tour: 5:30-6:30 pm | Reception: 6:30-8:30 pm
Transformations, the 12th annual Betsy Meyer Memorial Exhibition, features the 2016 Meyer Family Award for Contemporary Art recipients Matthew Courtney (Philadelphia), Sun Young Kang (Bryn Mawr), and Zahra Nazari (New York). Masters of their primary mediums and inspired by cultural specificity, each artist expands their artistic practice to embrace installation with works that fully engage the audience in constructed objects, the spaces they inhabit, and the concepts they conjure. Through painting, ceramic sculpture, and paper arts, these artists transform, not only their own materials, but the galleries themselves into unexpected environments that dance between the evident and the ethereal. Join us for a free opening reception and artist talk on Friday, March 11 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. The galleries at Main Line Art Center are free and open to the public Monday through Thursday from 9 am to 9 pm and Friday through Sunday from 9 am to 5 pm. Main Line Art Center is located at 746 Panmure Road in Haverford. For more information, visit www.mainlineart.org or call 610.525.0272.
