OUR 2022 ANNUAL SHOW JUROR , AUDREY FLACK OF NY
Audrey Flack is an internationally acclaimed painter, sculptor, and a pioneer of photorealism. Ms. Flack enjoys the distinction of being the first Photorealist painter whose work was purchased by the Museum of Modern Art for its permanent collection. Among many major museums around the world, her work also resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Butler Institute of American Art, National Gallery of Australia, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Allen Memorial Art Museum. Additionally, she is the first woman artist, along with Mary Cassatt, to be included in Janson’s History of Art text.
Among her public commissions are Monumental Gateway to the City of Rock Hill in South Carolina, consisting of four twenty-foot high bronze figures on granite pedestals; Veritas et Justitia, a fifteen foot high figure of Justice for the Thirteenth Judicial Courthouse in Tampa, Florida; and Islandia, a nine-foot high bronze sculpture for the New York City Technical College in Brooklyn, New York. A major retrospective of her work organized by the J.B. Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky has traveled to museums around the country beginning in 1992.
Audrey Flack has taught and lectured extensively both nationally and internationally. She was awarded the Augustus St. Gaudens Medal from Cooper Union, was an honorary Albert Dorne Professor at Bridgeport University, and awarded an honorary professorship at George Washington University. There are numerous books on her work, including Breaking the Rules: Audrey Flack, a Retrospective, 1950-1990 by Thalia Gouma Peterson, published by the Abrams Publishing Company in New York. Audrey Flack is the author of three books, On Painting (Abrams 1986), The Daily Muse (Abrams 1989), and Art & Soul (Penguin USA 1991). She is currently in the process of writing a sequel to Art & Soul, as well as a memoir.

2020 ANNUAL EXHIBITION
This year we are back to naming the show The Fellowship Annual Exhibition rather than FAME due to us now calling all Alumni members and dropping the idea of Membership dues. Instead only those who enter a juried exhibition pay an entry fee instead of dues. We now have larger participating group as result.
This Year’s Annual was Juried by Rebecca O’Leary, Art Advisor and Curator. It was held again at the HOT•BED Gallery at 723 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. The Exhibition pdf catalogue is available as free link by clicking HERE. John Thornton will be publishing another of his wonderful videos soon to be available on YouTube. We will be adding the link shortly. John. Thornton contributed an amazing video; click the link to view: https://youtu.be/rcu9sTSDVqM

JUROR’S STATEMENT
Jurying an exhibition is rewarding and challenging. Shows usually take months, even years, to pull together, but in the space of a few hours, hundreds of images are reviewed, and decisions are made. The juror brings their knowledge and experience, but the economy of time also necessitates some consideration of a gut reaction. As a juror I approach the work first through the prism of technique--skill, craftsmanship, composition, and medium. Is the piece well executed? Does it do something new with the medium? Does the piece catch my eye and make me explore it further? Is it pleasing to look at? Is it challenging? Is it presented well?
The works submitted for the show suggest that the Fellowship is a diverse and talented arts community. I want those who submitted work to know that eliminating pieces from the pool is hard. I wish to congratulate those artists whose work was admitted, and to further encourage those whose work was not. Lastly, I want to thank you—the Artist—for the opportunity to become acquainted with your work, and for the privilege of jurying this year's exhibition.
Kirsten M. Jensen, PhD, Gerry & Marguerite Lenfest Chief Curator, Michener Art Museum
