Rottler Award Selection Exhibit at York Art Association
Each year, the York Art Association selects up to 5 artists to receive the Rottler Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts from those members submitting work to the selection exhibition . The 2011 Rottler Award Selection Exhibit features two works by each of 42 York Art Association members.
The award is in honor of the late E. Kurt Rottler (1929-1995), a long time member of the York Art Association (YAA). Upon his passing in 1995, the YAA received an endowment from his estate to fund exhibition awards throughout each exhibition season. The Rottler Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts recipients are each awarded a $300 honorarium and given a group exhibition in the year following their selection. The Rottler Award winners’ exhibition is held annually in March/April.
This year’s Rottler Award recipients will be selected by Amy Hammond, Exhibitions Manager, Susquehanna Art Museum. Ms. Hammond holds a BA in art history and museum studies from Juniata College and a MA in art history (with a Modern European Art concentration) from American University in Washington, DC. During her time in Washington, DC, Amy Hammond interned with the Smithsonian Institution at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
The exhibit opening reception is Sunday, June 19, 2011 from 2 PM to 4 PM and the exhibit continues through Sunday, July 10, 2011.
The York Art Association Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM and Sundays from 2 PM to 4 PM (closed Saturdays) at 220 South Marshall Street, York, PA 17402.
