SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Schick Gallery at Skidmore College presents “7 Metalsmiths at Work,” a wide-ranging exhibition of jewelry and sculpture, March 31 through April 28. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 31, with a gallery talk beginning at 5:30 p.m.
The craftsmanship of artists Lynn Batchelder, Andy Cooperman, Jennifer Crupi, Terry Lavin, Myra Mimlitsch-Gray, Chris Ramsay, and Lin Stanionis — who hail from as far as Kansas, Oklahoma, and Seattle to as near as New Paltz, New York — conveys underlying concepts that are both inventive and inspiring. Along with finished pieces, each of the seven artists will show process work — a selection of sketches, studies, or models — offering viewers a look at how their ideas begin and develop.
“7 Metalsmiths at Work” is curated by Skidmore Art Professor David Peterson, with Schick Gallery Director Rebecca Shepard and Assistant Director Trish Lyell.
Schick Gallery events are free and open to the public. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday; and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Visit www.skidmore.edu/schick for updated information on related events.
