New York Academy of Art’s Annual Summer Exhibition

New York Academy of Art’s Annual Summer Exhibition When: Thursday, June 19, 6:00 pm Where: Flowers Gallery Why: The juried group show features new works from Aleah Chapin, Elizabeth Glaessner, Alyssa Monks and Will Kurtz among other notable Academy artists and is curated by three celebrated members of the arts community: Laura Hoptman, curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art and Patterson Sims, President of the Board of Independent Curators International and Matthew Flowers, Managing Director of Flowers Gallery. Shattering records from years past, this year’s community-sourced Summer Exhibition garnered over 700 entries with a wide variety of artistic approaches. The resulting exhibition, as Laura Hoptman notes, offers “something unique to today’s contemporary art conversation: top notch draftsmanship,” and presents new ideas in the world of figurative art that will disrupt your expectations.
