Overview

The members exhibition started in 1938 and the 84th installment of the Guild Hall Members Exhibition will be on view from October 28, 2023 through January 8, 2024. An open-call, non-juried exhibition is an opportunity for any current members at any level of artistic practice. The popular, democratic exhibition typically yields over 300 entries. A long tradition that is deeply rooted in the history of the East End’s artist colony, early participants included Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Alfonso Ossorio, James Brooks, Charlotte Park, and many more. Awards Juror, Virgina Lebermann, board president and co-founder of Ballroom Marfa, will select the Top Honors winner and honorable mentions.

Simultaneously, an exhibition by Mary Boochever will be on view in the Marks Family Gallery North – Tito Spiga Exhibition Space. Mary was chosen by MoMA PS1 Associate Curator Jocelyn Miller as the winner of the 2019 81st Artist Members Exhibition. Deeply rooted in research and investigations of color systems, Boochever creates color experiences for the viewer through her paintings, sculptures, and installations.

Galleries are open Friday to Monday, 12-5 PM.
Admission is FREE

Members Opening Reception: Saturday, October 28, 4-6 PM
