New Directions '13
Caesar and Pontiac Acrylic on Canvas by Andrew Edwards
2nd Prize Winner, 2012 New Directions
New Directions is a premier national exhibition of contemporary art in all media. The show is visited by art appreciators from the Hudson Valley and beyond, including New York City and the suburbs of Connecticut. Now in its 28th year, and juried by well-respected art professionals from the country's top modern art museums, this exhibition brings together established, mid-career and promising emerging artists from across the country in an atypical venue: the warm and welcoming galleries of Barrett Art Center's 1830s Greek Revival Townhouse, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. Surprisingly, this space lends itself well to a dramatic, visually compelling presentation of contemporary work.
The show, which will be on view from September 21 - October 25, 2013 at 55 Noxon Street, Poughkeepsie, NY, will be juried this year by Susan Sayre Batton, Managing Director, Dia:Beacon, and Director of Administration, Dia Art Foundation.

Last year was our first 1/2 Your Age Show. It brought together artists of different ages, styles, and media for collaborative works that were full of new energy. It was such an enjoyable experience for all, that we brought it back this year.
