SUMMARY:REMEMBER WHEN\, A National Exhibition Juried by Ransome
DESCRIPTION:Remember When\nA National Exhibition Juried by Ransome\nJune 27 – August 9\, 2026 \n\nCall for Artwork \nThis exhibit is a national call\, open to all U.S. artists 18 years of age or older. Artwork may range from realism to non-representational abstraction; 2D and 3D works in all media are welcome; size restrictions apply. \n\nDescription \nRemember When: Nostalgia is a powerful sentiment. We can experience it on a personal level\, a family level\, a cultural level\, a spiritual level. We invite you to submit images that speak to this theme. Let’s explore our pasts together as we look back at the times and experiences that shaped us as individuals and as a collective. \n  \nSubmissions due: May 7\, 2026 \nREMEMBER WHEN PROSPECTUS\n \n  \n\nMeet the JUROR: Ransome \n\nMy artwork centers on my African-American lineage\, which is traced back to sharecroppers of the American South who migrated to Northern cities along the East Coast. My pictorial narratives are personal\, yet the symbols I use are universal and interplay with larger social\, racial\, ancestral\, economic\, and political histories that inform our nation to this day. The history of my family is the history of black Americans\, which is the history of all of North America. \nIn my works\, I often combine acrylic paint with an array of found\, made\, and purchased papers. The materials I use are conceptual statements on this legacy of an often-overlooked portion of society that made something out of nothing. \nBoth my representational and abstract works incorporate a variety of symbols\, patterns\, and marks to create powerful images filled with the rhythmic properties of music that weave throughout my oeuvre. Born in a generation infused by soul and R&B music\, I grew up hearing rap music that freely sampled the music of my childhood\, mixing and recomposing these songs to create rhythms befitting to hip hop music. In my work\, my natural instinct is to paint and collage on the same surface\, applying the same spontaneity of hip hop deejays and the resourcefulness of rural quilters\, who use what is at hand\, assembling\, collaging\, and creating. \nWhile made of the energy of contemporary culture\, my work is also influenced by Abstract Expressionism and draws from the soulfulness of the quilts from the women of Gee’s Bend. For me\, there is a visual rhythm to layering these antipodes: found versus purchased objects\, figures versus abstract\, paint versus paper\, busy versus quiet. My work aims to imbue each piece with a lyrical yet authentic resilience borne of limited resources and frugality that speaks to the struggle and hope\, pain\, joy\, and soul of folks in the black community. \n–​ \nA graduate from Pratt Institute\, Ransome served as a tenured professor in the School of Visual Performing Arts at Syracuse University before retiring to pursue his dreams of being a studio artist. Nationally exhibited and collected by museums and private foundations\, Ransome received an MFA in Studio Arts from Lesley University and currently resides in the Hudson Valley. \n  \nImage: Ransome\, The Curse Of Ham\, acrylic and collage with table\, 50 x 72 in.\, 2025

Leave with a cute plushie. \nSession 2:  Felt Pennants \nAre you a fan of a band\, sports team\, school or town and want to express your creativity? Make a triangular felt pennant to decorate your walls by creating lettering\, a color scheme and pictures. Then cut your design from flat felt sheets and put your pennant together. You will design lettering and pictures then learn how to lay it out and attach to your pennant. \nSession 3: Wet Felt and watercolor Geodes \nGeodes are rocks that are plain on the outside and contain beautiful crystals and colors on the inside. We are going to make Geodes out felt sheets wool through a process called wet felting. You will learn all about where wool comes from\, what you can make with it. Next create a large watercolor geode using torn paper\, ink and watercolor. \nSession 4 and 5: Woven Dream Catchers \nLearn how to weave in the round with colorful yarns. Add hanging strings\, beads and feathers to make it a dream catcher. \n  \nAbout Jenny Torino: \nI am an interdisciplinary artist that primarily uses fibers such as felting wool\, textiles and paper to create felt sculptures and interactive spaces. I focus on the living ecosystem and patterns in nature that often get overlooked. I allow myself to work slowly\, leading to hyperfocus on shape\, form and color. Focusing on these details becomes a meditation. \nMy felted sculpture highlights the connection between artist & material and art & the ecosystem. Familiarity and intimate connection with every stage of wool production is part of my process. My work also involves supporting and building community by using materials from small farms and sharing knowledge of the felting process with the public. \n  \nSummer Art Scholarship Form \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY \n
