About the Exhibition: The Gallery at Delaware County Community College presents the annual 215|610 CONTEMPORARY Juried Exhibition, featuring the work of regional emerging artists living in and around the Philadelphia area. The 2022 exhibition is juried by Alex Klein, Curator at the ICA Philadelphia, and will be presented in-person in the Art Gallery November 14–December 16, 2022. The purpose of this juried exhibition is to showcase local emerging contemporary artists, create a platform for critical discourse through an exchange of ideas, and to push the boundaries of an age-old practice. In addition to the exhibition, we invite the juror to lecture about their personal work and practice. The juror's talk is free and open to the public, and is presented in the large auditorium on the College’s Marple Campus.
