RNAC Member Showcase
RNAC will conclude the 2025 season with Member Showcase, a dynamic juried exhibition highlighting the work of 5-8 RNAC artist-members. This prestigious opportunity invites a select group of artists—curated by a distinguished guest juror—to show a cohesive body of their recent work. Works may cohere based on theme or style; or they might demonstrate the evolution of an idea, technique, or style over time. An artist statement explaining the work should accompany each submission. Member Showcase aims to celebrate artistic excellence and innovation across a wide range of media and subject matter and to offer viewers a deeper understanding of the artists’ work.
Our juror, Shana Dumont Garr is a contemporary art curator, writer, and educator based in Greater Boston. She is a curator at Emerson Contemporary and a professor in the Department of Visual & Media Arts at Emerson College.
