OGDENSBURG -- The Frederic Remington Art Museum’s 2021 Members’ Juried Art Exhibition will open Friday, May 14. The exhibit will be on view in the Museum’s Richard E. Winter Gallery & Torrey Family Gallery and online at www.fredericremington.org. Because of the ongoing need for physical distancing, the opening reception will take place online via Zoom.

The public is invited to a virtual reception on Friday, May 14, from 4 to 5 pm. The reception offers an opportunity to view the entire group of artworks in the show, and to talk with the artists and the juror. Those who would like to attend the virtual reception, email desmond@fredericremington.org for a digital invitation. Everyone is welcome.

For this year’s exhibition, the Remington Museum received 60 images submitted by 27 member-artists. Some of these artists have been exhibiting at the Remington since the museum began doing juried art exhibits in 2001, and some are participating for the very first time.

Juror Kasarian Dane selected 44 works to be in the exhibition. He also selected three artworks to receive awards: a “best in show” prize of $100, second place prize of $75, and a third place prize of $50. The prizes will be announced during the virtual opening reception.

A “Public’s Choice” award, a museum wrapped canvas reproduction of Hauling the Gill Net by Frederic Remington, ca. 1905, will be awarded based on an open vote. Anyone can vote for their favorite artwork from May 14 until September 12, either in person at the Museum or on the website, www.fredericremington.org. One vote per person.

Many of the works on display will be for sale. One-third of the proceeds benefits the Frederic Remington Art Museum, and two thirds go to the artist. The exhibit will have an online gallery at www.fredericremington.org. The artworks will also be displayed as a photo album on the Museum’s Facebook page, where viewers can comment on works in the show.
