Viridian Artists is thrilled to announce its FIRST ANNUAL SUMMER JURIED EXHIBITION, juried by REBECCA ELISABETA MARYA (REM) RIBEIRO, Assistant Curator at the Neuberger Museum of Art. On view July 14 through August 1, 2026, the exhibition marks the beginning of an exciting new annual tradition celebrating exceptional contemporary artists. An Opening Reception will be held on Thursday, July 16, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, followed by a Closing Reception on Saturday, August 1, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM.

The First Annual Summer Juried Exhibition showcases the work of emerging and under-recognized artists, offering a platform that brings their practices to the attention of museum professionals, curators, collectors, and the public. Featuring painting, sculpture, photography, collage, and mixed media, the exhibition celebrates the breadth and vitality of contemporary artistic expression.

On her selection, Ribeiro writes, “These works embody the beauty of contemporary art: its liminality, fluidity, and inability to be tied down to specific, singular meaning.”

She further observes, “The artists presented here linger on notions of timeless nostalgia—be it fantastical and hedonistic, or quietly existential. Intimacy is what truly pulls these works into a cohesive group. They instigate intimacy and what it means to encapsulate a soul: human-to-human, human-to-nature, nature-to-spirit, spirit-to-timelessness.”

Cash awards will be presented to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners during the run of the exhibition.

Rebecca Elisabeta Marya (Rem) Ribeiro currently works in the curatorial department at the Neuberger Museum of Art, SUNY Purchase, and is an adjunct professor in the Art Department at SUNY Rockland Community College. She received her master’s degree from SUNY Purchase in Modern and Contemporary Art, Criticism, and Theory, with a concentration in Museology and Curatorial Studies. She also holds a bachelor’s degree from Manhattanville University in both Art History, and Creative and Professional Writing. Her curatorial work and interests are deeply grounded in existential philosophy, feminism, and queer theory. Her most recent exhibitions include Liminal in Nature and Guerrilla Girls: Food for Thought.

The First Annual Summer Juried Exhibition reflects Viridian Artists commitment to providing opportunities for both emerging and established artists. Through thoughtfully curated exhibitions and innovative programming, the gallery continues to champion artistic excellence while connecting artists with broader audiences and the contemporary art community.
