Reception/Awards: October 30
My grateful thanks to the juror Dr. Amalia Pizzardi, Director, The Gallery Art & Design and to Director & Curator Martin McFadden, LRPS!
About The Juror
JUROR Amalia Pizzardi was born in Italy, where she studied Art and Semiology at the University of Bologna with Umberto Eco and received a PhD in Social Sciences. She organized the seventh and eighth editions of the Lyric and Cultural Festival "Valle d'Itria" presenting "Le jeu de l’amour et du hasar" by Marivaux and "Turandot" by F.Busoni, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Tourism and commissioned by the Paolo Grassi Foundation.
When living in Mexico, Dr. Pizzardi became firmly convinced that Art is a vehicle for social change, so she organized artistic events within the framework of cultural interchanges with other countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Finland, France, Guatemala, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay and the United States. She has participated for years as a juror in competitions and artistic events organized by CNN, the Red Cross Art Auction and Juannio, Latin American Masters’ Auction.
Amalia is the Founder and Director of the art gallery "The Gallery Art & Design," dedicated principally to Latin American art on the vanguard, which has had a presence in Mexico, Italy and the United States; participating in international art fairs such as ArtMiami y MiArt in Milan. She is also the Founder and President of "Colors of Life," a non-profit that organizes each year an International Photo Competition to support various charitable causes.
About The Gallery
12 12 Gallery specializes in Fine Art Photography and Contemporary Art and represents emerging local and national artists through solo and group exhibitions. 12 12 Gallery features work by local and national artists in three unique gallery settings, launched every 6 weeks.
Each year 12 12 Gallery hosts three national juried art and photography exhibitions: the Manchester Fine Arts Exhibition, the Exhibition for the Arts and the National Photography Exhibition. Fine art photographers and artists from all over the country compete for cash prizes and awards. Past jurors for these exhibitions have included Stephen Perloff, founder and editor of The Photo Review; Jeff Harrison, Chief Curator, Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia; Lee Hansley of Lee Hansley Gallery, Raleigh, North Carolina; and Brian Clamp owner and founder of ClampArt in New York, New York.
Co-founded and owned by Martin McFadden and Lynn Limon, 12 12 Gallery was established to provide a gallery where emerging artists could exhibit work and gain some exposure without large gallery fees and red tape. Says Martin about the gallery, "It's about supporting the emerging artist because I'm an emerging artist."
Photographers and Artists-In-Residence include: Charles Philip Brooks, Marti Fann, Mike Keeling, Lisa Neher, Alison Overton, Krishanna Spencer and Inge Strack.
