Curators of Silvermine’s signature competition, Art of the Northeast, have included art critics, artists, curators and directors representing major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, The New Museum and the Whitney Museum. This year’s curators, Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam, both artists, critics and teachers, and are the first co-curators as well as the first husband-and-wife team to curate the popular event.
Begun in 1949 as the "New England Exhibition," the competition was founded by Silvermine Guild Members Miriam Brody and Revington Arthur to showcase the art of the region. Over the years, the exhibit has presented works by emerging and under-known artists, giving them a platform to reach a much larger audience than ever before. The winner receives a top prize of $3,000 and a solo exhibition at Silvermine Arts Center.
