2021 Sylvia Winstein Emeriti Arts & Crafts Exhibit

May 2021 - Emeriti Virtual Arts and Crafts Exhibits

The Sylvia Winstein Emeriti Art Show goes virtual this spring as our artists didn’t spend the Covid lockdown just sitting on their hands---they were busy doing what creative folks do---painting, drawing, photographing, stitching, knitting, and putting stuff together in unexpectedly wonderful ways. Twenty-one artists, including our Featured Artist Sylvia Raz, assured me they would be happy to participate. Hope you will enjoy this virtual show.

Artist's Statement

"I was born in Montevideo from European parents. I was three times an immigrant. So I speak different languages, and I like to observe us, human beings. I like to work in a variety of media and styles, what matters to me is the message, or confronting the viewer with my reality. Stone, clay, painting, sculpture, even knitting, I love them all! But for a long time I have been focusing on mixed media sculpture using the found object (I want to save the world, and there is so much to be found here!). But the common thread that unifies my work is the commentary about our human condition, touching on women's issues and sometimes in politics."
