| Event Description |
The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library is proud to host this year's 2010 San Diego Art Prize recipient, Gail Roberts, in an upcoming collaborative exhibition of works with artist Sondra Sherman, in a show titled "Appelation", on view in the Athenaeum's Main Gallery September 25 through November 6, 2010. Gail will be exhibiting paintings of accumulations of books and Sondra will be showing jewelry and metalwork that incorporates books. The definition of "appellation" is the name or title by which a person, thing or class is called or known. An opening reception with the artists will take place on Friday, September 24 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Current artworks by Gail Roberts are trail-markers for our times. Roberts moved in 2006 from an idyllic rural community in north San Diego back to city life. She transitioned from painting the beauty and catastrophic events of nearby scenes to a new range of concepts in response to what she perceives as a compromised and troubled relationship to nature in today’s culture. Both periods of her work share rich color palette, fine draftsmanship and superior composition.
The San Diego Visual Art's Network, SanDiegoArtist.com, and the Art San Diego Contemporary Art Fair are the proud sponsors of the San Diego Art Prize now in its fourth year. The Prize is given annually to several established and emerging artists who have exhibited outstanding achievement in the field of Visual Arts.

Sept 2 from 7 to 9 pm will benefit the SD Art Prize. Each exhibition will pair an established artist with an emerging artist.
