Portland Phoenix gives Art Gallery's 'Maine Women Pioneers II: Vanguard' a rave review
The Portland Phoenix on Nov. 14, 2012 gave a rave review to the UNE Art Gallery's "Maine Women Pioneers II: Vanguard," which features avant-garde, experimental and innovative works by nine Maine artists who offer insights into the future using mixed media, conceptual installation, performance and video elements.
Vanguard is the first of a series of four exhibitions that is striving to define the national impact of leading Maine women art pioneers of our age.
Reviewer Nicholas Schroeder writes: "In the first exhibit of 'Maine Women Pioneers III,' UNE's third occasion devoting nine months of events to women in the arts, this 'Vanguard' of artists are worthy of any superlative one could throw at them, and, gender be damned, together comprise one of the most remarkable exhibits of the year."
"Vanguard," the first of the four in the series, runs through Dec. 16th.
