Emeryville’s celebrated Art Exhibit will return to The Public Market for their 37th annual exhibit. For the second year in a row, the Public Market’s owners have generously offered the vacant brick warehouse space that was most recently Urban Outfitters.
The juried show featuring nearly 200 artworks created by 126 Emeryville artists and open to artists of all media and includes paintings, sculpture, photographs, prints, ceramics, textiles, and furniture.
“In this year’s enormous show, there are over 40 artists new to the exhibition which translates to an infusion of new artwork in addition to the work of artists who have made Emeryville their home for decades,” said Sharon Wilchar, exhibition coordinator. “We look forward to getting to know these new names and talents as our arts’ community extends a welcome.”
The 2023 guest jurors are Emilee Enders, curator of exhibitions and programs at Bedford Gallery, Walnut Creek and Jan Watten, founder and curator, at Gray Loft Gallery, Oakland.
“I had a wonderful experience meeting the artists who applied to this year’s Exhibition.” said juror Emilee Enders. “The process reminded me of the incredible community of artists we have in the Bay Area – specifically Emeryville, and left me inspired and grateful.”
