Gallery Exhibits

The Arts Council has two spacious art galleries that feature a rotating schedule of exhibitions that center around a specific theme or artistic medium. Our exhibition priorities are:

  1. To display art of the highest artistic standards as determined by the professional principals of good design.
  2. To offer a wide variety of mediums and styles, both within particular exhibition as well as over the course of the calendar year.
  3. To feature work that is unique to the area and not regularly displayed at other local venues so that we provide a distinctive cultural experience that is not available elsewhere in the County.
  4. We also proudly display works by local clubs, schools and art guilds in our Community Gallery.

Doing the Ordinary, Extraordinarily

 

Opens Thursday, October 14, 2010
 
In the Tevis Gallery
On View October 14 to November 19, 2010
Opening Reception October 14  5:00 - 7:00pm
 
Doing the Ordinary, Extraordinarily, is a thought provoking phrase coined by Maryland pictorialist photographer, A. Aubrey Bodine. He was a talented photojournalist who lived his life between photo shoots and the darkroom tirelessly working to perfect his craft.  He posed his subjects, altered his compositions, used his home as his studio and, at age 64, collapsed of a massive stroke in his darkroom.
 
The Carroll County Arts Council is proud to be presenting an exhibit that uses Bodines work as the cornerstone. Doing the Ordinary, Extraordinarily will feature a selection of Bodines work, focusing on Carroll County scenes, displayed alongside contemporary works inspired by Bodines images, created by local artists. The 22 artists who were chosen to participate by curator Susan Williamson and Bodines daughter Jennifer, are truly among Carroll Countys finest talent. All have been featured regularly in CCAC exhibits and have won numerous awards in these shows as well as others in the region.
 
Several of the artists will be reproducing a Bodine image in their own unique style, others, in the spirit of Bodine, are pushing their media further and harder to see what new outcomes can be obtained. Artwork will be created in oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, photography, felt fiber, mixed media and woodblock cut prints.
 
Carroll Country Participating Artists are:
Sarah Abel-Deluca, painter; Emery Billings, painter; Gregory W. Blank, photographer; Susan Ruddick Bloom, photographer; Sherrill Cooper, painter; Jerry DeWitt, painter; Phil Grout, photographer; Lucille Kerns, painter; Jen Hogue, photographer; Ray Hartland; painter; Shawn Lockhart, printmaker; Jane McManus, photographer; Jodi OConnell, painter; Stephen McDaniel, photographer; Stephen Raley, painter; Lisa Sheppard, pastel painting; Nancy Schmitt, fiber artist; Shelley Steinle, painter; William Weaver, painter; Christine Wenderoth, painter; Bruce Woodward, painter; and Pamela Zappardino, photographer.
