Community Theatre performances and during intermissions.Admission to the gallery is free. Spanning more than 200 years and featuring more than 4000 works by noted American and European artists, the A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Corporate Art Collection was created in 1967. Lithographs, engravings, woodcuts, serigraphs, gelatin silver and platinum prints as well as mixed media, are all included in the collection. Portions of the collection have traveled and been displayed throughout the country. They are loaned by A. G. Edwards for two or three months free of charge, most often to small museums that lack the resources to display expensive special exhibits but which are nonetheless, important cultural centers to their community. Branch offices of A. G. Edwards cover the bulk of the cost, bringing to their local citizens the opportunity to enjoy an exhibit that they would otherwise never see. The Ashtabula Arts Center is excited to be hosting one of these special exhibits beginning January 24 and running through the end of March. This is the second time the Arts Center has hosted an A. G. Edwards exhibit. In order to bring the exhibit to the Arts Center, Visual Arts Coordinator Meeghan Humphrey worked directly with James Mayer of A. G. Edward’s Ashtabula office. Mr. Mayer also hopes to work with the Arts Center on future projects. Entitled “Art by Women: Selections from the Corporate Collection of A. G. Edwards & Sons, the exhibit is being funded through the generosity of the Ashtabula Arts Center Foundation and the Ashtabula branch of A. G. Edwards at 145 W. 46th St. in Ashtabula. The Arts Center exhibit will include 24 works including: “Grand Central” by American artist Gayle A. Foster, 1930-40. As a street photographer, Foster used a view camera and natural light to capture this dramatic image of one of New York’s grandest public spaces, the great hall of Grand Central Terminal. “Rounding a Bend on the Mississippi--The Parting Salute” by American artist Frances Flora Bond Palmer, 1866. This lithograph with hand-coloring tells a story of steamships carrying cargo and passengers up and down the length of America’s great waterway. Also included will be: “Wimbledon by Underground” by Sybil Andrews and Cyril Power, 1933; “Noodermarkt, Amsterdam” by Eva Sesnyo, 1952; “Reply to Stanley Hayter” by Louise Bourgeois, 1997; and many, many more. We hope you will all come out to see this very special exhibit! | ||||
