Wearable Art

Posted on July 17, 2018 by public relations in Exhibition

Huntington Arts Council is proud to present Wearable Art, Juried Exhibition, Juror Dominique Maciejka. The Opening Reception is Friday, August 24, 2018 from 6-8PM.The exhibit runs from the opening through September 15, 2018. This is a FREE event, all are welcome to attend.

“In this era, where the lines between fine art, fashion, craft and design are being erased, we are very excited to be providing a show of this caliber to the arts community. It is no coincidence that this exhibit is scheduled to run through the dates of New York Fashion Week, an internationally recognized event. The Huntington Arts Council believes art can be expressed in many ways, shapes and configurations. This show is a perfect example of the many forms the intersection of art and design can take.” Said Executive Director, Marc Courtade

By definition from Mirriam-Webster, “wearable” means “capable of being worn: suitable to be worn”. “Art” is defined more broadly as “skill acquired by experience, study, or observation”, “the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects”. This exhibit features a wide interpretation of the Wearable Art theme. Some pieces are clearly fashion based and wearable in a more traditional sense. Other work can be described as based on experiences, study or observation. All reflect exceptional, creative imagination and skill. This show features a diverse use of media including jewelry, textiles, clothing, archival digital photography, and 3D mixed media.

Congratulations to the following artists for being accepted into the show:
Jessica Alazraki, Harper Bella & Chiffani Brands Unlimited, Edith Bernstein, Beth Beverly, Renee Blank, Oksana Danziger, Patty Eljaiek, Jacqueline Gelfuso Gallo, Diane Godlewski, Steven Goldleaf, William Grabowski, Suzan Haeni, Drew Kane, Julianna Kirk, Corey Lightfoot, Allison Mack, Lorraine Manzo, Christine Verga Maday, Arlene Mcloughlin, John Micheals, Lenore Fiore Mills, Gail Neuman, Luda Pahl, Amanda Reilly, Mary Schwarzenberger, Michelle Sepanski, Meryl Shapiro, Sally Shore, Tina Sundberg, Kate Sydney, Nancy Geng Vassilakis, Tracy Arnold Warzer

“There was such a great variety of submissions for this show! I chose pieces that I thought related best to the topic, were avant-garde and unique, or very traditional and exemplified a process well.” Said Dominique Maciejka

JUROR: Dominique Maciejka is the owner of Paper Doll Vintage Boutique in Sayville and Paper Doll Curiosity Shoppe in Patchogue and Huntington. She studied art and art history at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
