Boundaries: Juried 2D show opened April 26

Boundaries opened at Sunset River Gallery in Calabash, NC Saturday, April 26 and will run through Saturday, May 31. An opening reception  was held April 26 from 2 to 4 p.m.  A total of 34 pieces of art from artists in North and South Carolina were accepted by juror Lynn Golitz, an abstract artist from Morehead City, NC. A Best in Show award was presented to Marsha Hoffman for her (acrylic, photo transfer and oil sticks) abstract, “Open Your Throat.”

Participating artists were invited to explore the limits, edges, and intersections that define our lives. Where does one thing end and another begin? They examined both personal and physical boundaries, conceptual and societal boundaries.

Samantha Spalti, director for Sunset River Gallery, said,” We were looking for work that would inspire conversations on how boundaries are drawn or how they’re erased. It’s about offering a space for reflection and dialogue. I’m excited for gallery visitors to experience this show! Many of the artists (and the juror) will be at the opening reception. I hope people will engage them.”
