Description:
Join us for an opening reception for the artists of 19 on Paper. Free and open to the public. 19 on Paper, founded in 1986, is an organization of Rhode Island artists who make works of art on paper.
The members, who are painters, collage artists, printmakers, book-makers, photographers and sculptors also exhibit individually.
In the Spring of 1986 two artists decided to form a Rhode Island based artists' group whose purpose was "to provide a cohesive structure for the presentation of works on paper by Rhode Island artists." When nineteen professional exhibiting artists responded to the call for colleagues, the name of the group became "19 on Paper". In the ensuing years the membership has been maintained at approximately nineteen, although at times it has consisted of fewer than or more than nineteen.
Feeling strongly that the integrity of the individual's point of view should not be imposed upon, 19 on Paper believes that encouraging a diversity of approaches to works on paper energizes and enriches aesthetic expression. Not only are different mediums and techniques pursued, but also a variety of imagery, from realism to non-objective abstraction. The artists of 19 on Paper have exhibited worldwide in galleries and museums with several having been published in a variety of media.
This exhibit is onview through October 3rd.
