Academy/Academia — Juried Exhibition of GA Art Professors

January 9 – March 26, 2016

The Marietta Cobb Museum of Art is honored to have one of Atlanta’s very own visionaries in the Contemporary Art world, Fay Gold, as juror for our Academy/Academia exhibition.  Additionally, Ms. Gold was instrumental in curating and installing the exhibition with our Exhibition Committee.

Many will notice that this show is much like MCMA’s annual juried Metro Montage Exhibition, as there is a montage of style, genre and medium displayed.  For this exhibition, however, we invited only those artists who are educating and molding future generations of artists through their expertise and critique in the classroom environment at the university level.

As you walk through the galleries, we encourage you to focus on the craftsmanship, quality, integrity and attention paid to every detail by the professors or emeriti, as they demonstrate proficiency in their concentrated disciplines.  Academy/Academia is an interchangeable title; Academy being the contemporary word used to describe a higher level of education or research and Academia the ancient Greek term for the same. This exhibition aims to create a parallel between the long standing tradition of ancient and modern education and to recognize educators of the art discipline as artists themselves.  We received one hundred and fifteen submissions and Ms. Gold selected forty-five pieces to feature by twenty-eight professors/emeriti.   As you can see, there is a wide variety of very different forms of art exhibited.

It is MCMA’s mission to build community through art and what many students and young professionals in the community have gained, through the education of Fine Art professors and emeriti, can now be reflected upon and studied in their own right at the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art.
