The annual Summer Invitational exhibition at SLCA is our opportunity to showcase new work by gallery artists and introduce artists that are new to the gallery. In addition, this year the show includes key works from our archive –an inventory of work in the flat files and painting racks.
We have new work from artists that we represent - Patty Carroll, Marcus Cain, Jane Booth, Cary Esser, Andrew Watel, Ky Anderson, Harold Smith, Michael Schultz, and Calder Kamin, and are introducing the abstract work of artist Mark Pack. From our archive we have signature examples of work by renowned artists Vincent Falsetta, Theodore Waddell, Michael Eastman, Sung Soo Koo, Michiko Itatani, Anne Currier, Barbara Rogers and others.
This catalog will show you images of the artwork in our Summer Invitational, and, especially if you are familiar with the artist, you can imagine what the work is like. But artwork isn’t created to be known only through technology. No matter how accustomed we are to seeing artwork on our computer or phone screens, those images give just a hint of the depth of experience of seeing artwork in person. We invite you to stop by the gallery to see for yourself.
