The Woodmere Annual - 81st Juried Exhibition, Woodmere Art Museum

Come celebrate with the 54 Philadelphia artists selected by Juror Doug Bucci to participate in this “Annual” favorite, now in its 81st year! At the beginning of 2023, Bucci, an assistant professor and head of the Metals/Jewelry/CAD-CAM Program at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia, created a call-to-action for artists to submit work that explores the connection between people and places and how humans interpret their own emotional being with the concrete surroundings of where they live. This theme was inspired by how human connection is vital in the post-pandemic era, linking people spiritually and physically. As creative objects can connect or marry different media, they can also connect other disciplines in unexpected ways. The exhibition aims to highlight how connections transcend through the arts and how the fabric of Philadelphia threads through its community of artists.
