Under $2500 - A quick look

I dropped off my two entries at Maryland Art Place's Under $2500 exhibition and sale, and chatted for a while with hardworking MAP Exhibitions Director Caitlin Gill about Picts and Scotland and The Lillith.

I walked around the gallery and checked the works that had been delivered -- I have no idea who most of these artists are, but here are some of my top picks for the show.  If anyone knows the name, send me a note or leave a comment, so that they can get credit.

The below three pieces also caught my eye, and so I asked Gill about them.  They are gorgeous works on reclaimed, repurposed solar panels.

I was told that the solar panels were part of MAP's last show reGenerate and were part of "a MAP initiative to produce a show related to energy and sustainability."

The panels came from a local solar company, Lumina Solar via one of MAP's former employees, Robbin Lee, who so kindly made the introduction. Lumina was looking for ways to discuss the waste surrounding solar -  it was a win-win in terms of MAP's goals and theirs. 

This is good on several levels - not only because it is high quality, smart and intelligent art, but also re-employs discarded solar panels, which are the most toxic thing produced on planet Earth today when they are no longer of use and discarded. HUGE kudos to Lumina and MAP!

By the way, the artist with this wonderful work and superior artistic skills: Caitlin Gill.
