Slice: A Juried Exhibit of Regional Art 2024
Exhibit: July 12 – August 16, 2024
Reception: July 12, 6 – 9 PM
The Pence Gallery’s Slice exhibit, now in its 12th year, is an ‘open theme’ exhibit, displaying art that is conceptually thoughtful, technically skilled, and representative of contemporary trends in art. Over 40 regional artists from across California have been selected to show their work in this exhibit. Awards will be announced by the juror during the reception on July 12 at 8 PM.
This year’s juror is Robert Ortbal, Professor of Sculpture at California State University, Sacramento. His work has been showcased in exhibitions and installations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, as well as in Japan. His sculptural installations, based on the transformation of common domestic and industrial materials, appear to stretch our biological universe into different dimensions. Ortbal has also designed social practice works that question ideas of economic trade and civic space. He holds a B.A. in ceramics from San Francisco State University and an M.F.A. in ceramic sculpture from the University of California, Davis.
The Pence Gallery is open 11:30 AM – 5 PM, Tuesday – Sunday (closed Monday).
