Competitions
Expose: Student Juried Exhibition
The Reynolds Gallery closed their 2011 calendar with Expose: A student juried exhibition. Open to all enrolled Pacific students, this juried competition ran from November 30 through December 14, 2011. Two students were announced as recipients of cash prizes for their work. Paige Logsdon, for her painting "Past, Present and Future" and Eric Koester for his short video, "Escape to the Universe."
Juror's Statement—
Creativity and craftsmanship were an intricate part of the consideration of each piece of art for acceptance into the Exposed exhibition. The collection of artwork not only had to be strong enough to stand alone, but also had to work as a group. The artwork in Expose is a brilliant representation of the many talented students at Pacific. With each student's distinct style, there is no indication of monotony.
The jurors greatly appreciate the efforts and time of all the artists involved in the Expose Exhibition.
In Dialogue with Ansel Adams
The Reynolds Gallery's previous juried competition was "In Dialogue with Ansel Adams." This show was conceived in conjunction with the world premiere of "Ansel Adams: America," a new piece for orchestra by Pacific alumnus Dave Brubeck and his son, Chris Brubeck. Over 40 artists submitted work; ten were chosen for the show. From March 2- April 10, 2009, photography by Nan Brown, Jack Davis, Jane Delaney, Ursula Esser, Susan Hartzell, Terry Nathan, Chris Schiller, John Smith, and the team of Mark Klett and Byron Wolfe hung in the gallery alongside Ansel Adams prints generously loaned to the gallery by Adams's granddaughter, Alison Jaques.
