Wellesley art gallery announces 5th annual exhibition winners

May 20, 2021 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

An underlying message emerged throughout the 138+ art submissions to the Page Waterman Gallery’s 5th annual juried exhibition,  NEXT UP!, according to gallery manager and artist Ryan Black. In each of the three categories of artworks. “A theme of isolation, longing, loneliness, and a want for human contact and interaction brought on by a year of separation from their peers” came across loud and clear, Black said.

Wellesley High School’s Iris Xia took third place in Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking for The Other Side,watercolor paper and graphite; 12″ x 9″

Despite the challenges of creating art during pandemic, the students managed to convey and communicate personal emotion and empathy in paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and sculptures, which Black says is the goal of all artists.

Jurors Keris Salmon (photographer, filmmaker and textile designer) and Allison Tolman ) owner at The Tolman Collection of New York) had their work cut out for them as they selected works for honorable mentions, and first-, second-, and third-place. Page Waterman honored the top three winning entrants in each category with gift cards to the gallery—$100 for 3rd place; $250 for 2nd place; and $500 for 1st place.

The first, second and third place winners’ artwork will be on display at Page Waterman for the next couple of weeks. There’s still time to support your favorite artists by casting a People’s Choice vote. Winners of the People’s Choice awards will be announced May 28th.

Wellesley High School students made a big showing at NEXT UP!, with over 40 WHS artists contributing to the exhibition.

Iris Xia took third place in Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking, while Nick Partridge received an Honorable Mention in that category.
