[blank] slate gallery Presents SARTQ Art Collection.
From July 19th through August 20th the [blank] slate gallery [1] presents its first group exhibition by Sarasota’s contemporary arts collective, SARTQ. SARTQ: SMALL WORKS features about twenty-five pieces from twelve artists.This exhibition’s conception began when Tim Jaeger, SARTQ Executive Director, and Rae Ramos, [blank] slate gallery’s Associate Director, met on Ringling College’s campus discussing how to get the two fairly new art entities more exposure in the art’s scene in Sarasota and its surrounding areas.
Ramos, who organized the exhibition, was familiar with most of SARTQ’s artists’ works in large scale. “I wanted to see their works in small scale and if their aesthetics would change when working smaller. I’ve seen some fascinating works that are out of the norm from the participating artists and we’re really excited to display them at the gallery.”
Artists participating: Jeffery Cornwell, Elena De La Ville, Zachary Gilliland, Joni Younkins-Herzog, Tim Jaeger, Cassia Kite, Jenny Medved, Laine Nixon, Vicky Randall, Javier Rodriguez, Steven Strenk, and Jill Taffet.
SARTQ: SMALL WORKS will be on view July 29 through August 20, with an opening reception to meet the artists on Friday, July 29 5:30-8:30pm. Everyone is encouraged to attend.
