Each year, the Copley Society of art's Patron members meet in October to handpick the artists for the March exhibition "Patrons' Choice" and offer suggestions for the show's theme. They are then treated to a preview reception for the exhibition they created.
Patrons' Choice is the Copley Society of art's greatly anticipated annual exhibition featuring the never-before-seen works of some of our most celebrated members. This past year's theme, Encounter New England, allowed for diverse interpretations, while highlighting our regional beauty.
The jury for this show comprises Copley Society patrons who vote to honor select artists with an invitation to exhibit in this blockbuster event. Their choices range from our decorated masters to some of our recent inductees. The participating artist members provide an extraordinary range of styles and mediums.
Co|So has long fostered the careers of emerging artists, many of whom have gone on to find great success both regionally and nationally. The result of this union of promising new artists and veterans returning to Newbury street, Patrons' Choice 2008, is a truly remarkable exhibition, sure to impress and inspire.View Patrons' Choice 2008
