Virtual Award Ceremony: August 8th, 2024, 6:30-9 pm
Alfa Art Gallery is delighted to invite you to “The Virtual Ceremony” for the New Brunswick Art Salon 2022 and 2023 Cycle Award Winners, judged by our esteemed panel of curatorial interns. With expertise in art-making, graphic design, art history, and more, our interns offer professional and credible evaluations. The event will announce the first, second, and third-place award winners, along with honorable mentions.
For the past 14 years, the annual New Brunswick Art Salon has cultivated relationships between artists and art enthusiasts from New Jersey and the surrounding tri-state area. This August, a special event will highlight the winners from exhibitions in 2022 and 2023, celebrating their achievements and showcasing their exceptional work.
The 2022 cycle began with the photography exhibit “Interchangeable Lens: Frame of Mind,” which ran from January to March. This exhibit included images capturing the world in diverse and unified ways, presenting fine art photographers with unique perspectives and approaches to photography.
From April to August, the Oil, Sculpture, and Mixed Media exhibit “Beyond the Brush: The Contemporary Imagination” showcased contemporary artists pushing the boundaries of oil and mixed media. The selected abstract and figurative artworks offered immersive landscapes of contemporary imagination.
The final exhibition, “After the Charm: In the Name of Autumn,” ran from October to January 2023 and featured works in watercolor and mixed media. This exhibit highlighted the essence of autumn, inviting viewers to savor the qualities of the changing season.
In 2023, the photography exhibit “Refracted: Shade and Light” ran from January to March. This exhibit featured thirteen remarkable artists, each with diverse backgrounds and inspirations, showcasing a wide array of photographic approaches. The display highlighted unique techniques that led to powerful visual storytelling and stunning impressions.
Following the winter photography exhibition in this NBAS cycle was “Close to Home,” the oil, sculpture, and mixed media show and it was open from August until October. From oil paint to textile, each artist presented their own innovative approach to both the traditional medium of oil paint and mixed media art in order to capture their visions of the contemporary world.
Shortly after, on October 24, the watercolor and mixed media show “See the Forest for the Trees” opened and would run until January 2024. The goal of this exhibit is to allow artists to share their experiences, reminding us to not get too caught up in the little details of life at the expense of seeing the bigger picture.
Join us for an evening of artistic excellence and a celebration of the most notable works shown at Alfa Art Gallery in 2022 and 2023, presented by our brilliant and dedicated interns.
