The Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA), Florida, will hold their “It’s Colored Pencil 2019” exhibit at ArtCenter Manatee in the Kellogg Gallery, February 26 through March 29. The show will feature the work of 27 colored pencil artists from Florida. Juror for the show, Erin Wilson, is from the Museum of Fine Art in St. Petersburg. CPSA strives to bring awareness to the beauty and richness of colored pencil as a medium for creating fine art.
Joining the Colored Pencil Society will be Acrylic Painters USA (APUSA). They will hold their 13th Annual Juried Show at ArtCenter Manatee in the Searle Gallery. Founded in 2006, APUSA’s mission is to further the interests of artists in the use of acrylic/water-media by providing competitive exhibits, encouraging the study of the acrylic medium, and educating artists and the public on the significance of acrylics as an important painting medium. They represent some of the finest acrylic painters in the region. The juror for this show is William “Skip” Lawrence, a wellknown artist and Editor-in-Chief of Palette Magazine.
Completing this trio of exhibits will be our Annual Student Show, featuring the all media work of our students. While many of our students are professional artists, this exhibit speaks to their desire to continue to learn and explore. ArtCenter Manatee is committed to providing our students the opportunity to display their work professionally and to a broader audience. Juror will be Bea Dreier.
All shows open on February 26, with an opening reception on Thursday, February 28 from 5:00 to 7:00pm. The reception and exhibits are free and open to the public.
