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 and working in and around the Philadelphia region. The 2024 exhibition will be on view in the College Art Gallery November 4–December 13, 2024, and will be juried by photographer and educator Byron Wolfe. 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. A Juror's Talk will be scheduled at a later date during the duration of the exhibition. This Juror’s Talk will be offered to view in-person and online, is open to the public and free to attend.
