2016 New Contemporaries
SD Art Prize Nominated Artists will all be showing at City College Gallery
(1508 C Street, San Diego 92101) from Sat.
June 18 - Thurs. July 14, 2016 with an opening Reception: Sat. June 18, 6 - 8 pm. The artists
included are Robert Andrade, William Feeney, Kim Garcia, Robert Michael Jones, Erin Dace Behling, Sasha Koozel Reibstein, Aren
Skalman, Graham Smith, Shinpei Takeda, Paola Villasenor (PANCA), Nicole Waszak. Two artists from this
exhibition will be chosen to receive the 2016 SD Art Prize.
San Diego Visual Arts Network is excited to announce the new Public Choice award for the 2016 New Contemporaries. To allow visitors at City College Gallery to vote for their favorite artists in the exhibition, an addition to our SD View Art Now app was created by Anand Bora, Founder Determinant Studios. Mr. Bora is flying in from India to be present at the closing reception and announcement of the recipients. There will be an extra cash prize for the Public Choice award. Announcements of the recipients will be made on Thurs. July 14 at the end of the City College exhibition. The two emerging artists chosen for the SD Art Prize will in turn select two established artists to mentor them and to be co-exhibitors at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in the spring of 2017.
The space at City College Gallery is stunning and the art works look glorious in this setting. The show really includes something for everyone from figurative to conceptual and it is a good cross section of the art being produced in San Diego currently by a host of emerging creators. These 11 artists were chosen partly by the SD Art Prize artist from last year and the art professionals that wrote about them in our 2015 catalog along with the committee that produces the SD Art Prize and this year's host. Each person was allowed to nominate one artist. We welcome all who attend the show to vote for their favorite artist. You must be at the venue to vote for the artist you want to win. Over 150 people voted on the opening night.
