Summer Colors Open Juried Show

by acm_admin

 

Thank you to the Herrig Center for allowing me the privilege of serving as juror for this delightfully conceived summer show. The artistic community is alive and thriving here in Bradenton, and I know how deeply we all appreciate being a part of it, especially in this wonderful new space.

It was such a joy to see the rich variety of submissions – 2D, 3D and jewelry, represented in both contemporary and traditional ways by you all, in a beautiful array of Summer Color. I thank every one of you who faced the scary prospect of entering an art show and found the courage to put yourself and your work out here for us all to appreciate. Well done! And if your entry did not make the final cut for whatever reason, I hope you will enter again when there are different criteria, and I thank you for the opportunity to see your inspiring work.

There were a wonderful number of entrants, 113 ,and my main focus was on putting together a show that reflected the overarching concept of Summer Color as a whole, and all of your many and varied entries made that a pleasure. I loved the many different mediums, processes, and styles, and hope the result of my final selections will be a delightful experience for visitors of the Herrig Center and the show.

Thank you again, and well done everyone!
Susan Foster, Juror

Just People, Marta Ruiz Curated Exhibition

by acm_admin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Just People” is a series of portraits on paper, focused on older individuals whose expressions felt full of life, emotion, or unspoken stories. These portraits invite the viewer to pause and consider the stories held in someone else’s face. Though the people are unknown to me, their expressions feel familiar, vulnerable and real. The work reflects on how a single glance can carry a lifetime – and how even strangers can leave an emotional impression.

Opening Reception: May 21, 2026 5:00-7:00 pm

A 15 Year Journey In Watercolor, Kathy Simon-McDonald

by acm_admin

Until 2011, I had never painted or had taken any lessons in watercolor. After retiring from 35 years of teaching special education at the middle school level, I started attending local watercolor workshops in 2011 and was encouraged to compete. Since that time, my work has been juried into Splash 21, 22, and 26-The Best of Watercolor, the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and the 14th National Biennial Art Shows held in Punta Gorda, Florida, National Watercolor Society International Show, San Diego Watercolor Society International Show, Annual Signature American International Watermedia Exhibition, and has received awards in Southern Watercolor Society Annual Exhibition, Watercolor Society of Houston International Show, Georgia Watercolor Society International Show, Philadelphia Watercolor Society International Works on Paper, Louisiana Watercolor Society International Show, International Watercolor Society, and the American Watercolor Society International Show.

Some of my awards include the Susan Lattner Lloyd Gold Award for best in show in the Florida Watercolor Society 2015 annual show and the Winslow Homer Award in 2025, 2019 American Watercolor Society Best-in-Show Award, 2020 Transparent Watercolor Society of America Dorothy Dreihaus Mellin Watercolor Award, and the International Works on Paper (Philadelphia Watercolor Society) vonDuyke Award for Transparent Watercolor in addition to over 100 awards in local, regional, national and international juried competitions. I have earned signature or master signature status in ten watercolor society. My work has also been featured several times in ‘Watercolor Artist’ and ‘The Art of Watercolour’ magazines.

Student work is showcased in the special exhibition and online.
