The Southwestern Pennsylvania Council for the Arts 24th Annual Regional Juried Art Exhibition opens Nov. 15 in the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Ligonier Valley.
On view through Feb. 2, the exhibition features work by artists from the 19 southwestern counties of Pennsylvania. Featured works will span a variety of media, including acrylic, oil, pastel, photography, watercolor, wood, masonry and more, according to the museum.
A free opening reception is planned for 6-8 p.m. at the museum, 1 Boucher Lane in Ligonier Township.
“Since its inception, the exhibition has become known for its freshness and energy in the art of emerging young artists and for the dazzling presentations of established artists who are developing a new direction with their art. This installment marks the sixteenth consecutive year the exhibition is hosted by SAMA Ligonier Valley,” the museum says.
Serving as juror was Jason Ward, an adjunct professor of fine art, painting, drawing and illustration at the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design in Lancaster. At the college, he has taught master classes and workshops, and also has lectured on his work.
Ward has a bachelor of fine arts degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art and a master of fine arts degree from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. He has exhibited at galleries in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Lancaster, York, Reading and elsewhere.
