Vertu Hosts Juried Show, welcomes you to their new venue
It is clear from talking to them that Georgette and Prescott Grey had no idea in 1995 that the gallery they opened in Newburyport, Massachusetts, would be engaging in its fourth relocation 20 years later in Socorro, New Mexico.
While a bricks-and-mortar version of the gallery has not been continuously in existence over that entire 20 years, there has been a web presence for www.vertuarts.com for most of that time, as attested to by the web’s “Wayback Machine”. And as the pundits say, the more things change, the more they stay the same! Looking back to a web snapshot of late 1996, we see Vertu offering a “New England Regional Juried Show”. And today they are getting ready to host a New Mexico juried show.
“Facets and Faces of New Mexico” will open September 4th at Vertu’s new location on Socorro’s Historic Plaza. Entries to this show were juried and judged by art marketing specialist and fine art photographer John R. Math, of the online art gallery Light Space and Time. Best of Show went to Arlene J. Tugel, of Mesilla Park, for her transparent watercolor “Mountain Magic”. First place was taken by “Aristócratico”, a pastel by Albuquerque artist Marilyn Drake. Las Cruces artist Sue Ann Glenn placed second with her “Blue”, another transparent watercolor, and Heather Blair Jones of Albuquerque took third place with “Desert Dwellers”, a Watercolor on wrinkled rice paper.
A catered Artist's Reception for this exhibit, open to the public, will be held on Friday, September 4th, from 6 to 8 PM. The exhibit will run through Sunday, September 27th.
