Description

The Long Beach Island Foundation invites artists to submit to our major summer Gallery exhibition, Master Copies and Interpretations, on view July 15-August 15. Creating copies of masterworks as a learning experience is a time-honored tradition in the art world, and a serious endeavor for artists at all professional levels. Reinterpreting a masterwork is another strong tradition, as artists transform the way we see or understand the work by using different mediums, altering compositions, or riffing on a work from a satiric or humorous point of view. This exhibit invites entries in both categories: Master Copies and Interpretations. We envision a show of skilled copies & fun re-imaginings that will amaze & entertain a wide audience. We are honored to have Jennifer A. Thompson, PhD, Gloria & Jack Drosdick Curator of European Painting & Sculpture & Curator of the John G. Johnson Collection, Philadelphia Museum of Art, as our Juror. Prizes.
