The Possibilities of Pause: Delaware Women’s Conference 2009 Juried Exhibition

March 7, 2009 – April 19, 2009

The Possibilities of Pause showcases the variety of means that women in Delaware use in harnessing their energies, consolidating their thoughts, distilling their feelings, and unleashing their imagination to give form to their creative musings. Part of the Museum’s Outlooks Exhibition Series, this display of paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculptural pieces includes works by artists who are academically trained or self-taught. Some works testify to the legacies of landscape painting (particularly that of the psychologically inflected work of the late Andrew Wyeth) and of American illustration distinctly established by the Brandywine tradition.
The Juror/Guest Curator for this exhibition is Carina Evangelista, the Gretchen Hupfel Curator of Contemporary Art at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts.	Lums Pond, 2008 Emily Reed High Dynamic Range color photo print, 12 x 16 inches Lent by Artist

The Delaware Art Museum’s Outlooks Exhibition Series encourages community involvement in the creation of exhibitions that will be hosted by the Museum. The Delaware Art Museum accepts proposals for Outlooks exhibitions from organizations, community groups, and residents of our surrounding area, contributing to the Museum’s mission of providing an inclusive and essential community resource.

All Outlooks exhibitions are displayed in the Ammon Galleries on the Museum’s second floor.
