Two Shows at Beyond the Barrel 2019: Power and Emerging Artists



The Niagara Arts & Cultural Center is presenting their 15th Beyond the Barrel Art Exhibit and the theme of Power, drawing upon the Niagara heritage of the Falls, hydroelectric power, and the legacy of Nikola Tesla.  Although the broad theme they left open to artists.  I entered Atomic Split into exhibit, offering an artwork about nuclear power.  The show runs from July 13 to August 25.  

Simultaneously, the NACC offers another exhibit called Emerging Artists.  Attempting to draw upon the many kinds of experimental artists as well as new media in digital, video, and literary forms, this should be an intriguing if not also a fascinating display.  For this exhibit the judges chose my Reservation which is in line of a series of artwork I have created the past couple years using acrylic sheets or glass as a base for the imagery.

Both shows open Saturday, July 13, from 5 to 9 pm.
