Impact: Contemporary Artists at the Hermitage Artist Retreat

Does art play an active role in identifying and revealing the realities of contemporary life? Conversely how do present-day challenges in the world affect the choices that artists make in their studios? While these questions have no clear or easy answers the exhibition Impact: Contemporary Artists at the Hermitage Artist Retreat presented at Sarasota Art Museum hopes to expand upon conventional ideas of art’s impact on our daily lives through the presentation of recent works made by 10 U.S.-based artists: Diana Al-Hadid Sanford Biggers Chitra Ganesh Todd Gray Trenton Doyle Hancock Michelle Lopez Ted Riederer John Sims Kukuli Velarde and William Villalongo.
