Jaune Quick-to-See Smith is a well known American Indian artist and activist who uses her art to examines current issues facing her people. Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Made in America is an exhibition of drawing, printmaking, painting, and mixed media installation that examines American Indian life in contrast to the consumerism of American society.

All of Jaune’s paintings reflect her belief in the Native worldview, which holds that everything is connected and interwoven. This relationship between nature, animals, and humans stands in stark contrast to the Euro-Christian concept that humans stand at the top of a hierarchy. Rather than coexist with nature, humans are disconnected from it and maintain dominance. Jaune points out that, in fact, her view of the world is much closer to Buddhism than to “Western” thought. Past, present, and future are all interconnected, in how the Native traditions of the past have changed very little over thousands of years. Native culture is rooted not in consumerism and materialism, but in nature.

The annual Members' Juried Exhibition celebrates the artistic endeavors of its active members as the galleries are filled with their painting, sculpture, and mixed media pieces. The exhibit represents a rich and diverse collection of work, ranging from traditional painting styles and three-dimensional pieces to contemporary treatments and mediums. All the artwork included is recently produced, often being exhibited for the first time.

The Members' Juried Exhibition has been a tradition for the Museum for over 50 years, and gets better with every year. Two years ago it became a juried exhibition in an attempt to further professionalize the exhibition. The transition was incredibly successful, a fact represented by the great works of art that were exhibited. This year we are going to make another transition, one to a digital submission process. This is a nation wide trend in juried exhibitions, and having digital photos for the promotion and selling of art is becoming increasingly important for artists everywhere.

Entries must be submitted in JPEG form through email or CD-ROM. The deadline for entries will be Midnight on Friday, May 22, 2009. It is preferred that all images be of high resolution and should accurately represent the artwork. Accepted work may be subject to a second review at the request of the Juror. The Juror may decline a work if it does not closely resemble the original JPEG submitted to the competition. Entries can be submitted one of two ways:

1. Emailed entries should be sent to info@pensacolamuseumofart.org, with the subject line “Members’ Juried Exhibition Entry” and all information from the registration form. The Museum will send you an email within 24 hours confirming your entry was received (if you receive no confirmation, please re-send).

2. CD-ROM entries should be clearly labeled as well as include the registration form. CD-ROMs maybe hand delivered to the Museum or mailed. Include with mailed entries a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like your CD returned to you.

The 46 prints in this exhibition offer visitors a voyage through the printmaking phenomenon that took place in nineteenth century France. Europe in the nineteenth century experienced a new appreciation for printmaking, one in which its artistic merit became widely regarded as equal to painting and other art forms. France became the center of this printmaking revival.

During this period, there was a great deal of activity by artists interested in etching, lithography, and woodcut. Spurred by the democratic impulses that continued after the French Revolution, artists began to depict a much greater variety of subjects, finding material to ignite their imaginations in the diverse nature of city streets, countryside, and foreign lands. Printmaking in 19th century France is often characterized by the portrayal of modern life. This exhibition presents examples of that theme, as well as many of the techniques and styles representative of that era.

Included in the 46 prints on display are works by such venerated artists as Eugene Delacroix, Mary Cassatt, Honore Daumier, Paul Cezanne, and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec.

This exhibition was organized by the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia, and is supported in part by the Georgia Council for the Arts.

This exhibition is made possible by the support of the Pensacola Museum of Art Guild.
