Indepth Arts News: "Sixth Annual Juried Summer Exhibition : Back to Basics" 2009-06-04 until 2009-08-02 Tufts University Art Gallery Medford, MA, USA United States of America
The 2009 call yielded 90 submissions, a response
emblematic of the area’s vital arts scene. The 36 selected artists represent a variety of media,
styles and themes (please see next page for a full roster of participating artists). Among these
artists are familiar names pursuing new directions and newcomers who submitted for the first time
this year. The arrangement of the art in the gallery space will arrange works to inspire dialogue
and create opportunities for close examination and comparison.
This summer, Tufts will offer insight into each participating artist through a special cell-phone tour.
Starting June 4, visitors can dial 1-617-449-7520, listen to a brief introduction, and self-select
the stops to which they want to listen. Visitors will hear, often in the artist’s own voice, about the
artist’s inspirations, intentions, and techniques.
The Annual Juried Summer Exhibition continues to be a valued showcase in the Tufts University
Art Gallery’s exhibition schedule and is an important barometer of the vitality of the arts in Tufts
University's host communities. Each year, the University welcomes the opportunity to honor the
local artists who comprise one of our most significant constituencies. In six years, the gallery has
received more than 350 submissions and proudly exhibited the work of over 90 artists (about a
dozen of whom have exhibited with Tufts more than once).

The Tufts University Art Gallery proudly presents The Sixth Annual Juried
Summer Exhibition on view in the Tisch Gallery from June 4 to August 2, 2009.
A year after celebrating its fifth annual exhibition by featuring five site-specific installations, the
Tufts University Art Gallery went "back to basics" in 2009 with an open call to all professional
artists living and/or with a studio in three of Tufts' host communities (Grafton, Medford, and
Somerville). In an effort to garner the most diverse and accomplished group of artists, Tufts
waived its policy by which artists who had participated in a summer exhibition in either of the
preceding two years were ineligible to apply. Included in the exibition is Robert Castagna who promotes his work with a Free Portfolio at absolutearts.com.
