Art Market Redux: Reviving Community Engagement with Local Artists
Art Market Redux draws art lovers to support local painters
The Journal | Monday, November 25, 2024
The Journal reports on the successful Art Market Redux event held in Shepherdstown, organized by art professor Sonya Evanisko. The market showcased the works of Evanisko and five local artists, diverging from the traditional student-led format due to Evanisko's commitments to a mural project. Inspired by conversations with her top painting students during a trip to Italy, the event aimed to support local artists while allowing participants like Charlotte Puttok to refine their sales techniques and explore deeper connections with their work. The 'redux' theme emphasized a fresh start and community engagement, maintaining the market's cherished place in local culture.
