Featured Exhibition
The 2008 Westmoreland Juried Biennial
Sunday May 11, 2008 - Sunday June 08, 2008
Free w/ museum admission

The Westmoreland Museum of American Art has a strong commitment to regional artists, both in the context of history and in our own time. The Westmoreland Juried Biennial features 80 artists from within a 125-mile radius of Greensburg.

Juror Statement: For my selections of The Westmoreland Biennial, I wanted to embrace a variety of styles, subject matter and media. Out of this mixture, it is no surprise that a fair amount of representational works have emerged, particularly landscape. Pennsylvania artists have a long tradition of choosing their state as subject matter. Some of the earliest landscapes created in the young United States, for example, were views of Philadelphia; while artists soon embraced the views stretching to the west, towards Pittsburgh and points farther afield. I am gratified to see that contemporary Pennsylvania artists still find the state’s rural and urban imagery of interest. Portraiture and abstraction also make strong showings in this year’s Biennial. Indeed, a lively mixture of styles characterizes the state’s contemporary art and should be a source of pride for all Pennsylvanians. It certainly is for this former Pennsylvanian.
---William Rudolph, The Pauline Gill Sullivan Associate Curator of American Art, Dallas Museum of Art
