River Arts in Damariscotta invites artists to submit original work for the juried show “Artist’s Choice.” Deadline for dropping off work is Saturday, Sept. 11 at 4 p.m. Artists may choose works that best represent their own styles and interests for this “Artist’s Choice” juried exhibition. “Artist’s Choice” runs from Sept. 14 – Oct. 16.
River Arts is pleased to announce Simon van der Ven will be the juror for this show. Simon van der Ven’s work brings in ideas of home, family, and our relationship to nature. He uses materials such as clay, paint, and found objects to explore these subjects. Van der Ven has an undergraduate degree in printmaking with a minor in sculpture and a MFA with a concentration in ceramics and drawing. Van der Ven taught as an adjunct professor at UMA-Rockland and Unity College. He’s been a resident artist at Anderson Ranch, Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. His work is in the collections of the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, the Canton Museum of Fine Arts, and Harrisburg Community College. Visit Simon van der Ven’s website at www.vandervenstudios.com.
