Wreck - oning: National Online Juried Exhibit

Cade Art Gallery, Anne Arundel Community College
Exhibit to be presented on the Cade Gallery Instagram Account @cadegalleryaacc

Exhibit Theme: There has been a shift, a reckoning of sorts in the past year. As a nation of individuals we've been stripped of our perceptions and understandings. We've been forced to simplify our lives, while also dealing with complex issues brought on by the shifts, everything from confronting our fragility as a human race to dealing with the cancer of racial injustice. This show will explore how we have confronted these complex issues as individuals and then as a nation. What have we learned? How do we think and act differently? Where do we go from here?

The exhibit is open to all visual mediums.

Exhibit Juror Rai Arthur-Mensah
About the Juror
Rai is a Project Director with Local Projects. Over her 12 year career, she has found ways to promote the arts in her daily work. Currently, her main role is to manage physical and media related exhibition design projects that push forward the overarching vision and goal for a cultural institution. She's had the pleasure of launching such institutions as The Fashion For Good Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, The Legacy Museum in Montgomery, AL and is currently working to launch the Greenwood Rising Museum in Tulsa, OK.

Separately, she's produced a number of exhibitions where she has acted as the chief curator, producer, installer and art dealer. One of her most recently produced exhibits is a virtual Pop Up Museum of the Onward organization, an organization that aims to dismantle systems of oppression. Much of her past work has focused on emerging artists and cultivating those talents. At her core, she believes in the platform of artistic expression and the way in which art continues to start relevant and meaningful conversations.
