Fine Arts Committee

Plans for 2021

The Fine Arts Committee has been busy planning events for the upcoming year. We just finished hosting the Herkimer County Reflections Student/Teacher Exhibition. This was a very successful show highlighting Mohawk Valley art teachers and students as they displayed their artwork at our 401 Art Gallery.

Next up this spring (May/June 2021), Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute will move its exhibition, “The Art of the Vote,” to the MVCA gallery. This exhibition marks the 100-year anniversary of Congress’s ratification of the 19th Amendment and women’s right to vote. The artwork is from the Museum’s collection and also features works created by 10 regional artists, including from the PrattMWP faculty.

The MVCA 2021 Regional Art Exhibition is scheduled to begin on Thursday, August 5 with an opening reception to follow on August 14. The prospectus is available under our Art News posts on this website.

We are in the process of scheduling solo artist exhibitions, the annual Great Art Giveaway possibly with a new twist, and a student art show. Stay tuned for more details.

Fine Arts Committee members include: Donna Veeder, Sharon Collins, Jayne Ritz, Doug Whitfield, Jeff Smith, Linda Wagner, and Mena Cerone.
