The artists selected to exhibit in the first annual Sego Art Center Juried Show are varied in their scope of media and concept, and represent a small but accurate sample of the ever more diverse contemporary art world. The artworks in the exhibit range from painting to html- including media such as painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, conceptual jewelry, video, html, textile, fashion, and mixed media among others. Conceptual investigations are no less diverse, with artists analyzing and or constructing / deconstructing issues as varied as as are the artists’ locales (Shanghai, New York, Santa Fe, Boston, and Salt Lake City are only several of the many locations from which the artists reside).
The participating artists in this year’s juried show are: Hidemi Shimura, Daniel Deluna, Natalie N. O’Neal, Pooneh Maghazehe, Yusuke Nishimura, Chris Purdie, Chao-Ming Teng, Mireille Vautier, Mark Rumsey, Adam Taye, Alan Bigelow, Holly Veselka, Valerie Atkisson, Brian Christensen, Jonathon Vaughan, Ryan Browning.
