Solo Series 2007
Opening reception: Saturday, February 3, 3 - 5 pm
Abington Art Center's galleries take a new turn this season as artists install simultaneous solo exhibitions. "This new format gives each artist the prestige of a solo exhibition with the exposure of a group show," says Amy Lipton, curator at Abington Art Center.
Artists included in Solo Series 2007 were selected through a curatorial slide review. According to Lipton, "the quality and diversity of this year's submissions was very high which made the selection process more challenging."
