Description

In conjunction with their Annual exhibition, Ann Arbor Women Artists join the Library to present this lecture by Nancy Thayer, the juror for the Fall 2015 exhibit at the Library. Winners of the Ann Arbor Women Artists Fall 2015 Juried Exhibition will also be announced. The evening will begin with a 6:30 pm reception, where the public is invited to view the exhibition before the lecture and awards presentation.

Nancy’s talk will focus on her experience teaching classes in drawing and painting for non-art majors at the Stamps School of Art & Design. She will show some amazing images of work completed by students majoring in pre med., engineering, psychology, neurobiology, mathematics, and computer science. Examples will include mandalas, photo realism, self-portraits, and architecture.

The work of Nancy Thayer is included in numerous museum collections including the Detroit Institute of Arts, Muzeum Papiernictwa, Duszniki Zdroj, Poland, Foundation MINT ALAPITVANY, Budapest, Hungary, and in over 100 private and corporate collections throughout Europe and the U.S.

Ann Arbor Women Artists is a non-profit organization of approximately 330+ women and men with connections to Ann Arbor, ranging from beginning to professional artists. The purpose of the AAWA is to stimulate creative expression and sharing among its members in order to continually raise the quality of the art produced.

Each calendar year the AAWA holds two or three juried shows. A juror is invited to select from a large group of submissions a final show that is a reflection of the body of work produced by the membership, ranging from beginning to professional artists.
