Essex Under 35 is a group exhibition featuring the work of established and emerging artists born after 1977 who have lived or worked in Essex County. The exhibition will be at the Pierro Gallery in the Baird Center, South Orange, NJ from Thursday, January 19- Saturday February 18, 2012. The Juror for the exhibition is Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, curator at El Museo del Barrio in Manhattan. Previously, Ms Aranda-Alvardao was curator at Jersey City Museum where she organized exhibitions of contemporary art featuring the work of New Jersey and New York artists. The opening celebration for Essex Under 35 will be on Thursday evening, January 19 from 6-8pm.
Essex Under 35 came out of discussions the Pierro Gallery exhibition committee had earlier this year about the strength of the creative community in Essex County and curiosity about the work of a younger generation of artists who were raised within it, or chose as young adults to study, live or work here.Gallery Hours are by appointment as well as Wednesday and Thursday, 2-7pm; Friday, 2pm-5pm and Saturdays 1-4pm.
