Art students and w88 sports betting app owners embark on a new venture together this month with the opening of a special art exhibit, “Emerging Artists,” at the Stremmel w88 sports betting app.
Turkey Stremmel and husband Peter founded the fine art w88 sports betting app in 1969, specializing in contemporary paintings, drawings and sculpture by mid-career and established American and European artists. So, the University of Nevada, Reno students featured in the exhibit -- some who have just begun to build portfolios and resumes -- don’t quite fit the w88 sports betting app’s profile.
“We, in the department, are all slightly shell-shocked,” said University Art Professor, student advisor and former Regent, Howard Rosenberg. “We've been told that our students are doing work that is better than a lot of work seen all over the country. But, when something like this happens, and a major w88 sports betting app is willing to curate and mount an exhibit of student work, that is really something and legitimizes what we've been told.”
After a visit with Rosenberg and a tour of students’ work in the University’s Sheppard Fine Art w88 sports betting app, Turkey Stremmel had the idea to showcase all the work she saw in a group show at her own w88 sports betting app.
“That&w88 sports betting app;s what&w88 sports betting app;s exciting about this,” Stremmel said. “It&w88 sports betting app;s all new, fresh work. The students are all artistically talented, and each one is unique. Many have already started working with galleries, but it&w88 sports betting app;s important to go over things of which they must be aware as they become exhibiting artists.”
Rosenberg joined his 17 chosen students at the Stremmel w88 sports betting app two weeks before the exhibit’s debut. They sat in the w88 sports betting app’s main lobby intently listening as Turkey gave professional tips and advice.
She talked to the students about knowing and pitching artwork to galleries, building a portfolio, knowing the role of the w88 sports betting app, understanding the role as an artist, and what to expect the night of an opening reception.
&w88 sports betting app;This is like having Sotherby's or Christie's teaching our kids what and how,” Rosenberg said.
“We had a rare opportunity where the w88 sports betting app owner Turkey Stremmel spent time with the artists and generously shared invaluable information about the inner-workings of the w88 sports betting app business,” said student artist Jane Kenoyer. “I have learned so much in such a short period of time.”
Stremmel said that during the show, she hopes to &w88 sports betting app;sell the whole thing.”
“The neatest thing is that two of the kids' pieces have already been sold and they weren't even up on the wall yet,” Rosenberg said. “They&w88 sports betting app;d just come back from being framed and clients took one look and snapped them up. Talk about excitement, not to mention the red dots indicating a sale.”
An example of an emerging artist
Jane Kenoyer is one of the “Emerging Artist” featured exhibitors. She is in the w88 sports betting app’s bachelor of fine arts program and studying painting with Associate Art Professor Mike Sarich.
“I was overjoyed when I found out that my work would be in such a prestigious w88 sports betting app,” she said. “It is a rare honor to be represented at the Stremmel w88 sports betting app in this show. It has only come together through the passionate involvement of UNR faculty members such as Howard Rosenberg and Michael Sarich. I think that this opportunity came because our faculty has always pushed us to take our work seriously so that others might as well. We have been working very hard in the art department and there were a lot of works for the Stremmels to choose from.”
Kenoyer&w88 sports betting app;s recent works are of highly detailed portraits in oils on panel and canvas. She says that she is inspired by the essence of her great grandmother Pearl Rogers.
“I am interested in exploring idealization, oral tradition and identity,” she said. “I incorporate different elements of Pearl&w88 sports betting app;s legendary story into each painting. A parallel between Pearl&w88 sports betting app;s life and my work, for example, is that she had six tattoos in the 1920s and I incorporate tattoos into my portraits.”
Kenoyer explained that her great grandmother participated in Vaudeville, and many of her performances were in or around the ocean. She found that the ocean&w88 sports betting app;s horizon line is something they have both encountered.
&w88 sports betting app;This beautiful yet unattainable element reoccurs in all of my work.”
Kenoyer spent a few months interning in Seattle a year ago at the Roq La Rue w88 sports betting app and has recently shown work at the Sierra Arts w88 sports betting app and the Sheppard Fine Art w88 sports betting app.
&w88 sports betting app;What I can say is that galleries can be as unique as the artists in them and that no two galleries are alike,” she said. &w88 sports betting app;This experience has brought me new friendships and new-found confidence, and is a great opportunity to explore our community outside of the academic setting.”
