Join us for the opening of the 2024 Members' Juried Art Exhibit!
The exhibit, which features the work of Remington Museum members, will open with a reception on Saturday, May 18 from 2:00 to 4:00pm. The reception is free, and all are welcome. The exhibit will be on display in the Richard F. Winter Gallery and the Torrey Family Galleries at the Frederic Remington Art Museum May 18-September 7, 2024. Works in the exhibit may be offered for sale, with one third of the price benefitting the Museum.
Open to member artists everywhere, this exhibit is the Museum’s most inclusive juried art exhibit; every artist is guaranteed to get at least one work in the show. For this annual exhibit, the submitted artwork is selected by a juror who is also the Museum's Artist in Residence. This year’s juror, Marjorie Kaniehtonkie Skidders, a member of the Bear Clan of the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation Territory, has a bachelor’s degree in art and a master’s in education that turned into a 25-year career in education as a teacher, director, Indigenous content curriculum writer, and school principal. After retiring in 2007, she returned to her roots as an artist focusing on writing and photography. Her work has been acquired by the New York State Museum; Adirondack Experience, the Museum at Blue Mountain Lake; and St. Lawrence University.
Kaniehtonkie is also an award-winning photographer. Among other awards, she earned first and second place at the prestigious Adirondack Mohawk and Abenaki Art Markets in 2018 and 2019. In 2021, she had a one-woman show at the Native North American Traveling College, in 2022, she won second place in the juried Ganondagan Museum’s Hodinöhsö:ni′ Art Show in photography, and in 2024 had a one-woman show at the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University. As proud Ista of four children and twelve grandchildren, she is currently the editor of Indian Time newspaper.
