Juried by sculptor Jason Hoffman, the free exhibit is open to the public and features works by 11 different artists ranging from functional to abstract.
“Jason has participated as an artist in the wood show and is now a juror,” said Jacoby Executive Director Rachel Lappin. “He has selected a variety of talented wood artists from furniture and functional to surreal and abstract. His wood sculptures on display speak to the oddities of COVID-19 times.”
The exhibition celebrates the beauty of wood and its connection to the natural world, as seen in our surrounding landscape, the structure of our homes and businesses, transportation, furniture, cooking tools and sculpture.
“I am looking forward to the upcoming wood exhibition,” said Hoffman. “I would like to thank the Jacoby team for the opportunity to jury the exhibition, as well as the opportunity to display my current works that deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Wood is a vital resource in my art practice and I am honored to be a part of the wood show.”
Artists participating in the exhibition include Bill Abendroth, Jerry Cardwell, Bob Griffin, Mark Moritz, Adam Long, Jim Lynn, Rod Millard-Mendez, Jennifer Reida, Tom Sontag, Ric Taylor and Jason Wood.
During the Sept. 4 opening, art lovers will have a chance to meet and speak with the artists, learn about and discuss the art and celebrate the exhibition. Although no tickets will be required for admission, event capacity will be limited to 25 people at a time inside the gallery and masks will be required for entry.
Anyone not wanting to venture out for the event can also join a live stream for parts of the event, provided by Gesso Magazine. On display through Oct. 4, the exhibition is also viewable inside the main gallery during regular operating hours, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.
