seARTS is extremely pleased with the response to its Bass Rocks program, Art@Bass Rocks, now in its 3rd year. The 2010-2011 show was juried by Yhanna Coffin, Karen Ristuben, and Karen Berger and includes 22 artists and 29 works of arts. This year’s artists include: Nancy Alimansky, Geoffrey Bayliss, Mary Buckley, Katherine Coakley, Rob Diebboll, Cheryl Dyment, Edie Freedman, Richard Giedd, Lynda Goldberg, Christian Gotfredson, Heather Johnson Reid, Mary Rhinelander McCarl, Michael Oleksiw, Tricia O’Neill, David Piemonte, Richard Seeley, Kate Somers. Michael Storella
David Stotzer, Marilyn Swift, Theresa Testaverde, and Martha Wakefiield. Roughly half of the artists are returning from previous years, and the others are new to the venue. All the works of art are for sale and during the last show six pieces were sold and replaced throughout the year.
The Opening Reception is on June 8th and is open to the public. From 6-7PM guests will be invited to view the new show, meet the artists and cast their vote for the “Viewer’s Choice Award,” sponsored by Hershey Frame Shop. Votes can be cast through July 30th. At 7PM Carol Seitchik, independent Fine Arts Curator will lead a discussion with a group of the participating artists about the nature and style of their work. Ms. Seitchik curates several exhibitions a year for the employees of New England Biolabs and Cell Signaling Technologies who actively participate in selecting the artwork. She developed this unique program, over twenty years ago, of bringing art to the workplace. She was a sculptor and worked in mixed media, and is currently focusing on her poetry.
