The Riverside Arts Center is pleased to present Past Perfect: Celebrating 30 Years with 30 Artists, a group exhibition commemorating our thirtieth anniversary. This exhibition is on view in RAC’s Freeark Gallery, FlexSpace, and Sculpture Garden through January 6, 2024.
Established in 1993, the Riverside Arts Center has evolved into a respected destination led by its world-class exhibition programming. In recognition of the hundreds of artists whose art has similarly grown through the years, thirty extraordinary artists were selected from RAC’s solo and two-person exhibitions.
Representing a diverse range of artistic mediums, the exhibition includes a wood sculpture by one of the Riverside Arts Center’s founders, Ruth Freeark; a colorful multimedia installation by Aimée Beaubien; and a figurative oil painting by Janice Nowinski. Photography and video are explored by Whitney Bradshaw and Colleen Plumb, while painting is represented by respected artists such as Kim Piotrowski, Anna Kunz, Candida Alvarez, and Andreas Fischer. In addition, we honor Sabina Ott and Deborah Boardman posthumously through their art.
The artists in Past Perfect: Celebrating 30 Years with 30 Artists include:
Candida Alvarez, Karen Azarnia, Aimeé Beaubien, Deborah Boardman, Larry Bookbinder, Whitney Bradshaw, Tom Burtonwood, Paola Cabal, Bob Faust, Andreas Fischer, Ruth Freeark, Nancy Hejna, Heather Hug, Indira Freitas Johnson, Anna Kunz, Jason Lazarus, Riva Lehrer, Tim Lowly, Janice Nowinski, Nnenna Okore, Sabina Ott, Yoonshin Park, Tony Phillips, Kim Piotrowski, Colleen Plumb, Judith Raphael, Camille Silverman, Altoon Sultan, Jennifer Taylor, and Erin Washington.
Riverside Arts Center’s exhibitions are free and open to the public.
Gallery Hours: Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 1:00 – 5:00 pm
