Fall Solos 2008
Twice a year, the Arlington Arts Center surveys the Mid-Atlantic region, searching for the best in cutting edge contemporary art. For 2008, our exhibitions committee worked with two guest panelists: Notable D.C. collector Phillip Barlow, and independent curator Angela Jerardi. Together, we picked a group of artists who make challenging and distinctive work.
The nine artists in Fall Solos 2008 hail from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Alexandria, and points in-between. They follow widely divergent paths, using glass, found photographs, found logs and wooden dowels—and even traditional oil paint on linen. Yet these artists are all actively moving the broader art world conversation forward.

about
The exhibition program at the AAC consists of group shows and solo exhibitions. The year is divided into five slots, each six to nine weeks long. The AAC issues an annual call for solo exhibitions proposals for the subsequent season. Proposals are reviewed by a rotating Exhibitions Committee, which includes members of staff and Board, as well as outside curators, artists, and other arts professionals.
Calls for entry for group shows are issued intermittently and juried by an AAC designated curator. Occasional invitational exhibitions take place, with the AAC curator or a guest curator making the selections.
The AAC continues to pursue artistic excellence and to facilitate bringing emerging and under-represented artists into contact with the public as well as museum and gallery professionals. The AAC serves as a focal point for the ongoing exchange of ideas and images between artists and the public and as a doorway to the arts for the local and Mid-Atlantic regional community.
