Allied Artists of America Exhibition to Open at The Butler
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Allied Artists of America’s 111th annual exhibition will open Sept. 8 at The Butler Institute of American Art and run through Nov. 20.
The exhibition features work by artists from around the world.
Peter Trippi, editor of Fine Art Connoisseur magazine, and Gabriela G. Dellosso, president of Allied Artists of America, were the curators. They selected 100 works for the exhibition this year.
“Allied is unique from many other art organizations,” Dellosso said. “We pride ourselves on presenting a variety of styles, ranging from realist to abstract. We allow traditional media, like oil, acrylic, watercolor, graphics and sculpture. We also allow mixed media, which includes nontraditional like collage.”
The exhibition received an extremely high caliber of submissions this year, she said.
Louis Zona, executive director of The Butler, called the Allied Artists show “one of the great annual exhibitions hosted by The Butler. The exhibition features many of the greatest living artists and presents a wonderful survey of the status of art today.”
This exhibition will be on view in the MacIntosh, Finnegan/Hynes on the second floor of the Butler.
