VISUAL ARTS

The Jamaica Plain Arts Council Juried Exhibition is an annual springtime event designed to provide artists from around New England with a chance to show in a high traffic public space in Boston’s most creative neighborhood.

This year, the event debuts in its new space, the Footlight Club, America’s oldest community theater (http://www.footlight.org), in downtown Jamaica Plain.

The main gallery is open to the public and on show nights, hundreds of people pass through and spend intermission among the artwork.

The public reception will take place on April 21 from 6:00-8:00 PM.

The following artists were selected to participate in our 2012 juried exhibition titled Under the Influence:

Nicole Aquilano, Constance Bigony, Kathriel Brister, Jonathan Cook, Katherine Cope, Maria DiFranco, Kat Ely, Jess Greene, Rebecca Gutwin, Melissa Haines, Amy Hitchcock, Marnie Jain, Carol Johnson, Kim Katz, Bob King, Anna Koon, Jacob Kulin, Susan Leskin, Phoenix Mayet, Matt McKee, Luc Mehmel, Gary Patronek, Amy Pett, Robin Radin, Heather Reynolds, Kerri Schmidt, Racheli Shatil, Alan Strassman, Cara Studds, Stefan Volatile-Wood, and Hilary Zelson.
