Next friday, a week from today, is our official reception for the international Fl3tch3r exhibit!
A public program featuring this year’s juror, Jessica “J.B.” Burke, will be held on Friday, September 4, with a juror’s talk beginning at 6:30 p.m., followed by an awards presentation at 7:30 p.m. and a public reception. Approximately $2,000 in awards will be presented.
Since its founding, the International FL3TCH3R Exhibit has provided a forum for artists whose work addresses pressing social and political concerns. Rather than prescribing a specific theme, the exhibition invites diverse artistic responses that reflect the complexity, urgency, and evolving conversations surrounding justice, equality, human rights, environmental issues, identity, and global conflict.
This year’s juror, Jessica “J.B.” Burke, is an artist and educator based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Burke, who prefers to go by J.B., is a contemporary realist and Associate Professor of Art at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Her drawings have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the Mint Museum, the Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts, the KEPCO Plaza Gallery Museum, and most recently Aqua Art Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach. Her work has also appeared in publications including Manifest’s International Drawing Annual (INDA) 13, Hi-Fructose Magazine, Hyperlux Magazine, 3x3 Illustration International, and Creative Quarterly: The Journal of Art and Design.
Please join us next friday, September 4th for the awards ceremony. As always, we will be serving light refreshments, and any and all are welcome to attend.
