LAYERS: August 13 - September 28
Reception: September 11, from 6 - 9PM.

Target Gallery is pleased to open its fall season with Layers, a multi-media exhibition representing artists from across the United States. All works explore the literal or figurative use of "layering" in contemporary art. The exhibition will run from Wednesday, August 13 through Sunday, September 28, 2003. A reception for the artists will be held on Thursday, September 11, from 6-9 PM. The juror for Layers, Kathleen Moran, will present a lecture beginning at 7 PM on that evening. The exhibition and reception are open to the public and free of charge.

Juror Kathleen Moran is the Director of Exhibitions at Glenview Mansion Art Gallery in Rockville, Maryland and is on the boards of numerous public art commissions. Of the 25 artists in the exhibition, a good percentage of them are from the Washington, D.C. area. A wide range of media is represented, including encaustic painting by Torpedo Factory artist Beverly Ryan, enamel sculpture by Silver Spring artist Abby Schindler Goldblatt, and a striking fiber piece by Hillary Steele of Bethesda. In her juror's statement, Moran states, "I was seeking an understanding of how the works explored the notion of layering in art and was inspired to create an exhibit that presents as many different artists, media, and ideas as I could fit within the restriction of the gallery space."
