The organizers for 3 Americas! challenged artists from the northern reaches of Canada and the US down through Mexico and the Caribbean and on into the corners of South America to show them through original images of faces and figures the uniqueness of the various cultures and ethnicities, and at the same time the remarkable ways in which they are more the same than different from their counterparts in all and any other parts of the Americas. The response was enthusiastic, with works of two and three dimensions flowing in from artists of all stripes.
We will get a fresh concept of America by looking
at these faces and figures from all over the great strip of
our continent; that by looking beyond the surface of the
canvas to the maker of the art, we will see, manifest
within the trappings of their culture, humans like
ourselves with the gamut of joys and pains, fears and
triumphs, and we will, see that they are us, and we
are they. Susan Holland Curator
Graciously hosted by The University of Medicine and
Dentistry - Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, the
Healing Arts Club (HARTS), and Visual Arts League
(VAL), this exhibit is designed to travel, and hopes to
bring a fresh definition of America to all three
Americas.
