ART! 40th Annual Rhode Island Open Exhibition – Warwick Center for the Arts
About the Exhibition: NO THEME. NO RULES. JUST THE WORK.
For 40 years, the Rhode Island Open has asked one question of the state’s artists: what are you making right now? There’s no theme to answer and no box to fit. Any artist 18 or older who lives or works in Rhode Island could enter, in any medium, at any stage of their career.
Every entry was juried blind from images alone, so the work was judged on its own terms and not by the name attached to it.
This year, 40 artists are showing 49 works, and the result is the clearest snapshot we have of what’s being made in Rhode Island today.
40 Years of Rhode Island Showing Us What They Can Do
An open call means anything can walk through the door, and it did – a huge range, spanning painting, photography, sculpture, collage, and work that sits somewhere between. Some artists are showing in the gallery for the first time. Others first hung work there decades ago. Both belong in the exhibit.
