The Fresno Art Museum's exhibition, A VISION UNFOLDS: 60 YEARS OF ART, ran from January 23 through February 1, 2009. The exhibition showcased the work of longtime local artists who formed the original Fresno Art Center in 1948 and work from Central Valley artists who have yet presented their art at the Fresno Art Museum.
The Fresno Art Museum sought artists from the Central Valley who have never presented their artwork at the Fresno Art Museum.
The following were the guidelines for submissions: Artists must currently reside in the Central Valley. Only artwork that can hang on the walls of the Museum will be accepted for this exhibition and delivered artwork must be completely ready for hanging. There is a maximum dimension limit of 60 inches. Only one piece will be accepted from any artist, so enter your best work. No sculptures or installation pieces will be accepted. Only original works will be accepted for digital art; any reproductions or scans of pre-existing art will not be accepted.
This was a juried show and the jury was headed by the new Executive Director of the Fresno Art Museum, Michael Mazur.
This event officially kicked off 2009, the Fresno Art Museum’s 60th anniversary year, as the “Year of the Member”.
