HAVERFORD, PA (January 2, 2018) — Main Line Art Center is proud to present the 2019 Professional Artist Members’ Exhibition, on view in the Center’s galleries from January 5 to February 3. Juried by Charlotte Lowrey, Coordinator of Curatorial Initiatives at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the exhibition features paintings, drawings, photographs, sculpture, and mixed media works by a selection of Main Line Art Center’s 2018-2019 Professional Artist Members cohort. The Professional Artist Members’ Exhibition will open with a reception on Friday, January 11 from 5:30 to 8:00 pm. The reception and exhibition are free and open to the public.
This year marks the 7th anniversary of the Center’s Professional Artist Member program, which provides a selected group of artists from the Greater Philadelphia area a variety of exhibition, educational, and networking opportunities, and exposure to collectors, curators, and designers. Over the course of the two-year membership, Professional Artist Members are promoted on the Center’s website as well as through their social networks. They are also given access to professional development training, networking events, critique seminars, and are eligible for solo and group shows.

Current Professional Artist Member, Deborah Leavy, will also have a solo exhibition of painting and photography in the Welcome Gallery from January 19 to March 3. Dual Identities will mark the first time Leavy has shown the two art forms together.

The galleries at Main Line Art Center are open Monday through Thursday from 9 am to 9 pm, and Friday through Sunday from 9 am to 5 pm.
