Atlantic Gallery Juried Exhibition 2021
DRAWN TO PAPER
January 5 – 23, 2021
DEADLINE: DECEMBER 8, 2020

CALL DESCRIPTION:
A juried Group Show with Grand Prize: a Solo Show at Atlantic Gallery in NYC’s Chelsea art district.

Beyond canvas, aluminum, linen, or wood, paper has a special resonance for everyone. It is what we used in school to create cards for our parents, or to create a masterpiece at age 7 when we were all artists. 

Now as professionals, paper offers a thousand possibilities. We can sketch, draw and paint, collage, sculpt, create books, wall hangings, and photographs or allow the paper to be the art. In this challenge we invite the artists to engage in a conversation with paper in whatever way they imagine. The paper is the thing!

ABOUT JUROR:
Susan Rostow is a Brooklyn-based multi-media visual artist. Through printmaking, sculptural books, 3D wall installation and animation, she explores the effects of time and nature's cycles. She is currently an Artist in Residence at the New York Historical Society and in 2017 she was as an Artist in Residence at the New York Academy of Medicine, in collaboration with CENTRAL BOOKING.  Her work has earned her a NYSCA / NYFA Artists Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts and a Pollock-Krasner grant. She is represented in numerous collections, including the Alan Chasanoff Book Arts Collection at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven Connecticut and the Library of Congress National Print Archives in Washington DC.

Rostow has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, including Atlantic Gallery’s SEEING THE UNSEEABLE, 2020 group show juried by Judith Kruger, and is the winner of a solo show at Atlantic Gallery, August 18 -29, 2020.    

In addition to Rostow’s active career as an artist, she is an innovative inventor of art materials and has made a major contribution to the printmaking community worldwide by inventing Akua soy-based inks.
