WCA/NH Annual 6 x 6 Exhibition

This year, WCA/NH’s annual 6 x 6 exhibition returns to the Belknap Mill Gallery in Laconia, where 6 x 6 first began. The Historic Belknap Mill is the oldest unaltered brick textile mill in the United States and has been designated as the “official meetinghouse of New Hampshire.” WCA/NH is proud to offer our members an exhibition in this museum gallery. Belknap Mill will be hosting their gala on Friday, November 5, one week prior to the WCA/NH opening. For the first time ever, 6 x 6 will travel! When our time at Belknap Mill Gallery ends on November 22, the show will move to The Studio, Melissa McCarthy’s wonderful studio and exhibition space, also in Laconia. Many of you will remember The Studio, where Melissa hosted the 2010 Spring Meeting and the Down & Dirty Postcards exhibition. Melissa’s Holiday Open Studio will take place on Saturday, December 11, 10 am–5 pm. Additional studio hours will be determined.

Annual Juried Exhibition Jewish Women Artists’ Network
A special interest group within the Women’s Caucus for Art (WCA)
"Sanctuaries in Time"
Columbia / Barnard University - Kraft Center for Jewish Life
606 West 115 th Street, New York, NY 10025
January 18 – March 1, 2011
Meet the Artists Reception: February 10, 2011, 5:30 – 7:00 PM

Exhibition Theme: "Sanctuaries in Time"
As each person is unique, so too is each hour and each moment unique. How do we resolve the tension of the inevitable passage of time and the desire to cherish special moments? Time envelops holiness; time interacts with space and nature; time is a constant in the world around us; time is attached to sacred events. The Book of Exodus, chapters 25-40, offers detailed instructions for constructing a sanctuary, illustrating the timeless struggle to set aside time and space for creating and building a life of values and spirituality. How do we move "beyond the confines of measured time"(Abraham Joshua Heschel) to build our own sanctuaries in time? The challenge to the artist is to consider the balance of the mystery and continuum of time and her place in the present.

Juror: Dr. Maya Balakirsky Katz, PhD, is associate professor of art history at Touro College and is on the faculty of Touro’s Graduate School of Jewish Studies in NYC.

Eligibility: Members of the Jewish Women Artists’ Network (JWAN) and the Women’s Caucus for Art (WCA) are invited to submit up to three jpeg images of original work completed during 2006-2010 and not previously exhibited at a JWAN exhibit.
