PROFESSORS OF ART: GEORGIA
A juried art exhibition showcasing the work of Georgia art educators – eyedrum Gallery
Atlanta, Georgia, August 20 2022 – Closing August 20, 2022, eyedrum Gallery will present a juried exhibition Professors of Art: Georgia. The show will include art in a range of media, created by art faculty from Georgia’s institutions of higher education, both public and private. Art department faculty members are often required to continually exhibit their own work to retain their positions and to achieve promotion and tenure. This juried opportunity carried free entry out of respect for the work that art professors do in developing young, artistic minds. One artist from the exhibition will be chosen to receive an Award of Top Honor and will work towards a Solo Exhibition at eyedrum during the following year, 2023. This exhibition is juried by Michael Marling de Cuellar, a recently retired, tenured professor from the University of North Georgia, Dahlonega. This is the inaugural exhibition in a triennial format, which will include this juried group exhibition of professors’ work, a subsequent solo exhibition for one awardee (2023), followed by a juried group exhibition of work by MFA candidates’ Georgia-wide (2024).
About the Juror
Marling de Cuellar's works have been exhibited regionally, nationally, and internationally and are featured in both private and corporate collections here and abroad. As a curator he developed the Southern Printmaking Biennale International which is a survey of contemporary printmaking throughout the world. Marling de Cuellar retired from the University of North Georgia in 2020 and now pursues art full time while teaching summers in Beijing and Shanghai.
