Virtual Exhibition
April 3 – May 2, 2020
Juried by Eleanor Oakes
ART NOW: PHOTOGRAPHY is the sixth annual exhibition in the Ann Arbor Art Center’s Art Now series, which presents a media-focused exhibition on a rotating basis.
For this year’s exhibition juror, Eleanor Oakes identified a theme (nothing is clear, nothing is certain) while reviewing work which led to the resulting curatorial end in the virtual galleries.
Adapting to uncertain times our team elected to move the exhibition online. By utilizing Kunstmatrix ART.SPACES web tool artworks were curated in two virtual galleries.
