‘Figuratively Speaking’ a juried art competition

The Island Now

The Art League of Long Island invites artists from Nassau, Suffolk, Brooklyn, and Queens to submit entries to the upcoming juried competition “Figuratively Speaking” showing in the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery June 4 through June 26, 2016.  

The deadline to submit application is April 28.

In this juried exhibition, the Art League asks the artist to submit two- or three-dimensional works addressing the figure. 

These works may be realistic or abstract. The figure may be human or otherwise. All mediums will be considered, with the exception of photography or video. 

Juror Andrea Schnabl will select the exhibitors and the award winners.  Schnabl is principal/director of Stux + Haller Gallery in New York City.  

Andrea Schnabl was born near München, Germany and received her formal art education at the Kunst Institut, Landshut, Germany. 

Her early years in the United States, starting in 1987, were spent concentrating on monumental public sculpture. 

She joined Stux Gallery in 2002 as gallery director. Being formally trained as a sculptor, she naturally has a deep understanding of the intellectual and physical process of art making, while possessing a discerning eye and empathy for artists, thus connecting her closely with the gallery artists and their work. 

In 2008 she became a full partner in the gallery, sharing with the gallery’s founder, Stefan Stux, all responsibilities pertaining to artist representation, critical selection of artists and artworks, client relationships, sales, overall gallery management and staffing, while playing a pivotal role in the mapping of the vision and long-term goals for the gallery’s future.
