Visual Art Juror:

Juror: Our visual arts juror this year is Susan Green who serves as the Marcia Manhart Endowed Associate Curator for Contemporary Art & Design at the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she works directly with living artists and the growing Philbrook collection, as well as the historic Villa Philbrook and special exhibitions. Susan graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Master of Arts in Art History and from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and German.

 

She says about the kind of work she will pick for this show: “I am interested in artwork that speaks to larger issues, concepts, or experiences of the world and our current (and future) realities. Successful works should be authentic expressions of an artist’s personal practice.”

​

This will be a small performing area inside Liggett Gallery so space is limited. We will have a small PA, and will work with you to meet your sound needs. We will have vocal mics. Acoustic instruments will be heard with a minimum of amplification, but please list your preferred configuration and we will let you know exactly what we can accommodate. We will have a stage manager and sound person.

Performances will need to flow with minimum time between, so that we an include as many as possible. 

​

We will have room and time for 10 to 15 works to be chosen for this inaugural event. We hope it will meet a need that allows us to grow this event in the coming years! I am very excited to start this journey with Liggett Studio and the music-making women of Tulsa.
