From the Press Release:
The Art of the State Purchase Award Collection, 1969-2017
On exhibit October 20, 2017 – February 18, 2018
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the annual juried exhibition Art of the State, The State Museum of Pennsylvania is showcasing featured works that were purchased by the museum and added to its permanent collections over five decades.
As part of each year’s show, a guest judge or State Museum official designates one or more works of art to be purchased for the museum’s permanent collections. Since the works featured in Art of the State have already been vetted through several layers of the jurying process, Purchase Awards represent an elite group of Pennsylvania artists.
The Purchase Award exhibit will open during Harrisburg’s monthly 3rd in the Burg celebration on Friday, October 20, 5:30 – 7:30 pm – a free event hosted by the Friends of the State Museum.
Art of the State is presented annually by The State Museum of Pennsylvania and Jump Street.
