2021 Juried Student Exhibition
EXHIbIT DATES: February 22 – March 19, 2021
Zoom event TBA
JUROR: Alisa Sikelianos-Carter, Artist
Each year, Skidmore College art students (both majors and non-majors) submit works
in a range of materials, including prints, photographs, sculpture, graphic design,
painting, drawing, animation, fibers, jewelry, and ceramics. From an average of 250
submissions, a juror unaffiliated with the Skidmore Art Department selects 70 – 80
works for inclusion in the exhibition. The Juried Student Exhibition is a perennial
favorite, showcasing works in all media and celebrating the imagination and skill
of Skidmore College art students.
Our juror this year is Alisa Sikelianos-Carter, a mixed-media visual artist living
and working in upstate New York. Inspired by traditionally Black hairstyles, Sikelianos-Carter
uses web and catalogue sourced images to construct new archetypes. Her opulent, large-scale
figural works celebrate and pay homage to Black ancestral majesty, power and aesthetics.
Sikelianos-Carter earned her BA and MA from SUNY Albany in Painting and Drawing. She
has been awarded numerous residencies, including The Millay Colony for the Arts, Vermont
Studio Center, The Wassaic Project, and Yaddo. She is currently a NXTHVN studio fellow
in New Haven, CT. Her recent exhibitions include group shows at the Tang Teaching
Museum, Saratoga Springs, NY; Pelham Art Center, Pelham, NY; Esther Massry Gallery
at the College of Saint Rose, Albany, NY; and the Bronx Art Space, Bronx, NY.
