Radius is a professional development program organized by The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in conjunction with the Ridgefield Guild of Artists to promote the growth and interests of regional artists. Artists who participate in the Radius exhibition are chosen from a review of submissions received following an open call for entries. In addition to the group exhibition at the Ridgefield Guild of Artists, selected artists receive an individual exchange with curator and director Harry Philbrick, through a review of their portfolio and original work, focusing on professional development. Radius also includes networking opportunities, workshops, and a public forum to address important issues for professional advancement.
There will be an exhibition of the Radius artists on January 24 from 4:00-7:00pm at The Ridgefield Artists Guild in Ridgefield, CT. www.rgoa.org
