 Pelham, NY - Pelham Art Center is pleased to announce the 5th Alexander Rutsch Award and Exhibition, an open, juried competition for U.S.-based artists aged 19 or older.
In 2009, the award is for painting. A $5,000 cash prize and a solo exhibition at Pelham Art Center are awarded to the winner. Pelham Art Center is proud to sponsor the competition and award to honor the memory and artistic achievement of Alexander Rutsch (1916 – 1997), an artist who actively supported Pelham Art Center for more than 25 years. After his death, friends and supporters of Alexander Rutsch and his family established a generous and significant fund to support a bi-annual, open, juried competition in a range of mediums.
The Alexander Rutsch Award and Exhibition program continues Rutsch’s belief that art transcends all of our humanity. Rutsch saw art as “the stone in the water sending ripples throughout the universe.” His extraordinary work, rich in the celebration of life and our shared human experiences, is included in many of public and private collections throughout the US and Europe.
Entries must be received by February 6, 2009. U.S. based artists 19 years of age and older. All work submitted must be available for exhibit. Application and prospectus are online at www.pelhamartcenter.org or contact
