Tour Art Contest Winners Announced Tonight!

Please join us for what has traditionally been one of the favorite member gatherings of the year: viewing the Tour Art Contest entries, unveiling the winner, and hearing the juror reflect on the decision making process.

This year, we are excited to hold this event amongst Member artworks on display at the Bristol Art Museum from our Members’ Invitational Exhibition. Please join us tonight, May 16th, for our May Members’ Gathering!


Potluck and Socializing:
 6:30 p.m.
Program Begins: 7:00 p.m.

The theme for this years’ contest was to submit works that captured the essence of water. Leonardo da Vinci believed water was the driving force of all nature. For centuries, water has captivated the imagination of artists as a fascinating and dynamic element, be it in its solid, liquid, or vaporous form. Maybe artists were drawn to its serenity, its mesmerizing movements, its destructive power, its different forms - ice, rain, snow, fog, steam, etc., or its symbolic meanings. We encouraged registered Tour artists to create artwork that flows with imagination.

Location: Bristol Art Museum 
10 Wardwell St., Bristol, RI 02809

The museum is located on a one-way street. Limited parking is available in the lot across from the museum or on the street.

Enter from Bradford Street to Central Street, then onto Wardwell Street..

This year’s juror is Mary Dondero, an artist and educator living in Massachusetts. Her artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She was a 2011 recipient of an artist residency at Zion National Park, Utah. Dondero has served on the panel of jurors for the Rhode Island State Council of the Arts and is currently serving as Exhibition Curator at Bristol Art Museum, Bristol, RI and a Board member for Imago Foundation for the Arts in Warren, RI. Dondero is a full time tenured faculty member in the Department Art and Art History at Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, MA. Her studio is in Warren, RI and she lives in Rehoboth, MA.
