(Covington, KY) – The Carnegie is excited to announce the opening of two new exhibitions on November 1, curated by Exhibitions Director Matt Distel. Same Again: organized in partnership with Art Academy of Cincinnati, will feature dozens of pieces from students across the region addressing common themes such as societal priorities and common concerns impact emerging artists. The Carnegie’s historic gallery space will also be displaying work from high school sophomores and juniors across multiple disciplines representing over 35 Kentucky high school arts programs as part of the Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts Program.
“These two exhibitions highlight student artists across Greater Cincinnati and the entire state of Kentucky, giving them the recognition that they didn’t receive during their Spring semester due to COVID-19,’” said Distel. “Traditionally, these shows would take place earlier in the year to highlight the student’s final senior thesis projects but have been severely delayed due to the pandemic. The Carnegie is proud to support these local artists and their commitment to their education in the arts, even during a pandemic.”
Same Again: Organized in partnership with Art Academy of Cincinnati
- Drawing largely on works created for thesis exhibitions that never had the opportunity for a public audience, Same Again examines how dramatic shifts in societal priorities and common concerns impact emerging artists. The objects and bodies of work on view will reveal the ways in which new circumstances influence how art is both produced and interpreted.
- Participating artists include: Erika NJ Allen, Ally Bachman, Kyros Barton, Caroline Bell, Kevin Dougherty, Elisa Fay, Claire Flath, Caleb Francis, Sydney Greene, Isabel Gregan, Natalie Korfhage, Remi Mahuet, Kile McVey, Jared Miskell, Anna Paulsen, Kaylynn Phillips, Kelly Stevens, Savannah Vagedes, Kimberly Walker, Kelli Wheat, Jordan Haworth Zermeno
