Tree Play
22nd February 2023
Two images from my recent virtual show at the Arnold Arboretum are on exhibit in the Arboretum's visitor center. The show "Artist Redux/Seen Again" Feb 3 -March 12, 2023, includes work from 11 artists who had online shows during the pandemic.

The 10 other artists are Anthony Apesos, Arlene Bandes, Lizi Brown, Madge Evers, Lynda Goldberg, Beth Maisel, Amy McGregor-Radin, Gayle Smalley Bruce Wilson, and Ginny Zanger. During the pandemic when the buildings were closed to the public Gallery Director Sheryl White set up detailed virtual exhibits that included links, artist interviews, and other materials. The 20 works from my 2021 show can be seen in my Gallery New England Woods with my commentary describing experiences prior and after the early months of the pandemic. https://www.amyragus.com/new-england-woods
Note 2023 - The Arnold Arboretum Staff removed all the virtual exhibits from the Arboretum website without notice. This I find very disrespectful. The focus in these shows was largely Arnold Arboretum-related. The time and thoughtful interviews and commentary by Sheryl White are lost. Why?
I will recreate Sheryl Whites curating of my virtual show on this site.
