Irvine Contemporary is pleased to announce Introductions3, a selection of recent graduates from leading national and international art schools. This third year of Introductions at Irvine Contemporary is the first gallery exhibition of its kind: over 250 artists from 60 different art colleges were reviewed for Introductions3, and final selections were made with the advice of a panel of art collectors, rather than curators or gallerists. Introductions3 has grown into an inclusive “MFA annual” — with some exceptional BFA graduates — that brings the best rising artists to Washington, D.C. Participating artists are listed below with their most recent college or institute affiliation. Opening reception with artists: Saturday, August 11, 6-8 PM. Exhibition: August 11 – September 8, 2007.
