New Exhibition Challenges the Notion of Perfection

AUGUST 17 – SEPTEMBER 14 

Join us for the 5th Annual Lillstreet
International, a juried exhibition open to artist submissions from
across North America. For this year’s theme, juror Sandy Simon searched
far and wide for “the perfect plate,” choosing 43 works by 32 artists
including: Michael Ashley, Noel Bailey, Mariana Baquero, Amanda Barr,
Clinton Berry, Elise Delfield, Nick DeVries, Mike Gesiakowski, Jon
Glabus, Mel Griffin, Sangeet Gupta, Todd Hayes, Anna Calluori Holcombe,
Tom Jaszczak, Jay Jensen, Jake Johnson, Kristen Kieffer, Lucien Koonce,
Justin Lambert, Melissa Lee, Missy McCormick, Megan Mitchell, CJ
Niehaus, Bob Pool, Justin Rothshank, Jan Schachter, Aaron Sober, Kyla
Strid, Marjorie Wade, Derek Walter, Ai Yamamoto, and Adam Yungbluth.

If you can’t make it in to see the show, pick your perfect plate online and contact the Gallery Director
to purchase. We also encourage you to do some creative daydreaming by
desiging your own “Perfect-Plate-Inspired” table setting on Pinterest. It’s fun and it’s easy!
