ARIZONA BIENNIAL 2013
07/20/2013 – 09/29/2013
Out of the 1,250 works submitted to Arizona Biennial 2013, 80 pieces are selected for the exhibition. Here are a handful of images. Of the various group exhibitions I have posted in this blog – I have to say receiving the images for this one, was one pleasant experience after another. The contemporary art work being made across Arizona is compelling.
About the Biennial: The Tucson event is the oldest running juried exhibition featuring exclusively Arizona artists and will be on view at the
Tucson Museum of Art • July 20 – September 29, 2013.
About the guest curator: The work juried into the exhibition was judged by noted guest curator René Paul Barilleaux – Chief Curator/Curator of Art after 1945, McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, Texas.

Kudos, Monica! Your work splendid, thanks for sharing. (I remember having my work included in the Biennial in 1971; how’s that for history!?)
I love knowing that. And happy belated birthday Joan!
Thank you for posting Monica, Congratulations to everyone in the show.
