ART AT THE HALL

A Local Art Series

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Angela Rowe

Angela Rowe is a native of Pisgah Forest, North Carolina. Although she grew up drawing and making objects, she took other career paths, working an architectural historian, in arts administration, and managing high complexity global projects for IBM.

Since 2013 Angela has focused on making art, maintaining a studio practice at ACME Art Studios since 2014. She received an AFA in Visual Art from Cape Fear Community College in May 2018. Primarily a painter, she also works in mixed media, print making and ceramics.

About the Oils

Angela primarily works as a painter in oil, focusing on a representational approach. Regardless of the medium, all of Angela's creations share the same intention of portraying things which are more than they superficially seem. Angela wants to suggest a story, show a certain light, a moment, a mood, a shared memory. She takes her own reference photos. These are images which said something to her.

Angela likes to work in multiples and within themed series as this allows her to more fully explore aspects of a subject or theme. In the past – and continuing – this has included a focus on local foods and food providers, such as produce stands and fish markets, as this gives Angela a way to speak about food as an expression of region and culture. Recent animal paintings include some of the earliest breeds brought to the Americas, but Angela is playing with other aspects such as the joy of a hog wallowing in the mud on a hot day or goats taking a sunbath in the sandy dust of eastern NC. A painting of a Devon Red cow becomes a nod to 19th century paintings of prize winning animals.

Call to Artists:

Local artists and/or galleries may submit a request to participate in the quarterly rotation by filling out the “Art Exhibit Request” Form below. Artists and/or galleries chosen will display art of their choice for a 3-month period designated by the Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts (THCPA) art exhibit coordinator. If selected, applicants must be willing to sign an Artist’s Agreement.

Works of art chosen for these temporary exhibits are lent to THCPA by the artists and/or galleries; THCPA is not the purchaser for the works of art. THCPA will allow the sale of art at a 20% commission. Display of contact information for the artists or galleries, web addresses and/or QR codes may be displayed on the art labels and/or artists’ biographies at the discretion of THCPA.

Submission Guidelines:

· If selected, all art must be “Gallery Ready” for THCPA staff to install. Acceptable materials on the back of the artwork include metal D-rings, hooks, and wires. No sawtooth hangers are accepted.

· A tag for each work of art must be provided with the Artist’s name, title of art, medium, and size on the back of the art. This information will be used to create labels for placement on the wall by THCPA staff. An inventory list with the Artist’s name, title of art, medium, and size must be provided prior to the art exhibit.

While THCPA will provide reasonable security for such art exhibits, security is not guaranteed, and insurance is not provided to the artists and/or galleries by THCPA or the City of Wilmington.
