Guest Curator: Darin White
Hillyard is excited to announce that Darin White, Lawrence, KS, has agreed to guest curate and jury the Sweeping up the Mess exhibit. White's recent curatorial work includes: Anthropoi, White Show, Dry Bones, and TRANS*parent TRANS*lucent which was hailed by Review Mid-America's Visual Arts Publication as being "mesmerizing, beautiful, puzzling, and disturbing, but what perhaps makes it successful overall is the effective curation. White has put together an exhibition that is direct and sensible; it creates an environment capable of producing dialogue between viewers." In its review of Anthropoi, the publication states, "White's curatorial and promotional skills are causing much murmur in Lawrence's fairly tight-knit arts community."
Exhibit Sales/Awards:
Hillyard takes a 20% commission of all sales with 80% going to the artist. Three Artists and Three Poets, whom the jury considers deserving, will be awarded solo shows on display in the White Carpet Gallery at Hillyard. Total awards and display dates may vary at the sole discretion of Hillyard.
