Description

The PMJA (Philadelphia Museum of Jewish Art) invites artist submissions for its upcoming Spring exhibition. Since 1975 we have presented solo and group exhibitions of contemporary artwork in the broadest range of mediums by artists of diverse backgrounds. Titled “Tikkun Olam: An Exhibition on Healing Our World” the exhibition invites artists to reflect upon and give expression to the theme of our social duty to confront the challenges of repairing our world. We are especially excited to announce the involvement of special guest juror, renowned curator and art historian, Ruth Fine. Fine was a National Gallery of Art Curator for four decades. She has organized dozens of exhibitions and written catalogue essays about several printmaking workshops as well as artists including Romare Bearden, Mel Bochner, Wendy Edwards, Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Jasper Johns, Norman Lewis, Roy Lichtenstein, John Marin, Georgia O’Keeffe, Martin Puryear and, most recently, Frank Stewart’s NEXUS: An American Photographer’s Journey, 1960’s through the Present. Fine chairs the board of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation and serves as a consultant to the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation.
