The 14th Annual No Dead Artists National Juried Exhibition of Contemporary
Art
Juried by Beth Rudin DeWoody, Donna Perret Rosen and Fairfax Dorn
For Immediate
Release
August 27, 2010 (New Orleans, LA)
The Jonathan Ferrara Gallery is pleased to announce the jury winners for
the 14th Annual NO DEAD ARTISTS National Juried Exhibition of
Contemporary Art. This edition marks the first time this long-running juried
exhibition will feature artists from across the entire
US.
The exhibition opens on Saturday September 4, 2010 with an artists' reception
from 6 - 9pm. Each year the show draws thousands of art enthusiasts and focuses
attention on an emerging generation of contemporary artists that are poised to
breakthrough into the greater art
world.
The No Dead Artists juried exhibition was founded in 1995 to give
a voice to emerging artists. The exhibition's name is derived from the old adage
that artists never achieve any success until they die. No Dead Artists
turns that on its head and gives emerging artists their first break into the art
world. In the 90's, the exhibition was open only to New Orleans artists and then
it grew to include artists of Louisiana. Now in its 14th edition, the
exhibition has expanded to become a national juried exhibition open to artists
from the entire US.
The exhibition has been a springboard for several artists leading to national
press coverage, national recognition, gallery representation and acquisitions by
museums and other prominent collections. Each year gallery owner Jonathan
Ferrara invites a panel of renowned arts professional and collectors to select
the newest creative talents. The exhibition opening draws thousands of art
enthusiasts to the gallery to see this new generation of emerging
talent.
