Upcoming Exhibitions for Teresa Young

Published simultaneously on this blog and on Teresa Young's main art website: http://www.teresa-young.net/blog.

I've had the good luck to be included in a few collective exhibition coming up in the month of October, so I thought I'd do a quick post so that people had a chance to attend if they were in the area and wanted to see my artwork in person!

The first one I'm going to mention is occurring at the Agora Gallery in the Chelsea district of New York city. Agora has been in operation for many years and I'm pretty excited to be included in this exhibition slated to start on October 7th. There is an opening starting at 6 PM ET on October 13th (my lucky number!) if you want to attend.

The exhibition is called Beyond Borders: an Exhibition of Fine Art from Canada and it runs until October 26th.

Here's what the gallery has to say about this exhibition:

Beyond Borders: an Exhibition of Fine Art from Canada celebrates the beautiful, sensitive and intelligently illuminating art of contemporary Canadian artists. In these artworks viewers will see the results of both spontaneous creation and transformative skill and forethought, as each artist brings the best of what they see, feel and form to their work.

Another exhibition I am participating in is with the Energy Art Movement, an organization I've recently joined. Here's the blurb on the movement, which is pretty cool as far I'm concerned as I've never seen anything else that captures the essence of what I'm doing with my art...

About the Energy Art Movement,

The Energy Art Movement is an international contemporary multimedia art movement, with three primary values: quality, diversity, and evolution – on the common ground of energetic depictions. The Movement's values have been explicitly defined in its manifesto – which is its founding document – and its principles. Members believe that enhancing their creations with energy – either in composition or in subject matter – adds artistic value to their depictions. The Movement strives to follow a progressive trend of forward evolution in the Fine Arts, while embracing both traditional and digital media.

The Movement’s members draw from many earlier major styles – such as impressionism, expressionism, and futurism – while they enhance their work with energetic compositions which – according to their manifesto‘s reasoning – adds artistic value to them, and thus is a new stage of evolution and synthesis for those styles, and so for the Fine Arts.

As Organizer Giorgio Vaselli has stated: “I would like our messages to be revolutionary, yet non-radical. Heard, yet not loud. Influential, yet non-confrontational. Clear, yet deep."

Here is the exhibition announcement, it's in Meridean Mississippi!

About the Exhibition

The international Energy Art Movement (EAM) is coming to exhibit in Meridian, MS, USA at the Meridian Museum of Art (MMA) between Oct. 5 – Nov. 26, with a reception on Oct. 29, 6-8 pm. With over a hundred members around the globe from Romania to Japan and two from Mississippi, the Movement intends to build a multi-span bridge between various parts of the art world.The Energy Spectrum 2011 is the 5th exhibition of the Movement, after successful exhibitions in Canada, Chicago, Memphis, and most recently the annual Energy Art Salon in Russia, all followed by media acclaim. The current exhibition intends to show the breadth of what energy art is able to express, as a "spectrum" of concepts and their depictions, analogously to the scientific idea of the electromagnetic spectrum.
A wide range of styles, techniques, and mediums will be presented at the exhibition, from cutting edge digital fractal flame art, through detailed ink drawings done in hundreds of hours, to the emotive brushwork of energetic expressionism.
About the MuseumThe mission of the Meridian Museum of Art is to promote the visual arts through exhibitions and collections, art education and support of regional artists, and to enhance community life through the celebration of diverse cultures. Museum programs are supported by the City of Meridian, the Mississippi Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Riley Foundation.
The Meridian Museum of Art is located at 628 25th Avenue, Meridian, MS 39301, USA. The Museum is housed in the historic Old Carnegie Library building (constructed 1912-1913). The Museum is open 11 am - 5 pm, Wednesday - Saturday, and admission to the Museum is free.
