The Ormond Memorial Art Museum is hosting Innovations 2025, the International Society of Experimental Artists' 34th annual juried exhibition.
A total of 96 artworks in all mediums and styles from ISEA members now fill the museum's main galleries. According to a press release, "Innovations" is ISEA's premier annual exhibition.
"Experimental artists from across the globe explore, learn, and apply new techniques, new compositional approaches, and new concepts to create," the press release states. "Whether realistic or abstract, an innovative approach to making art is applied."
The exhibition opened on Sept. 17 and 22 awards were given. Award winners included nine Florida artists, six of whom are based in Central Florida, with two from Ormond Beach.
The local winners were:
“The challenge in jurying this exhibition was that each submission embodied experimentation in a distinct way," said Meghan Martin, juror and gallery director of Arts on Douglas. "Each work presented elements of innovation, insight, and exploration. To assemble an exhibition that
collectively reflects its focus, I considered both the artwork and the artists’ statements, as well as the questions they raised. In the end, I made selections that best embody the ISEA’s commitment to creative thinking, imagination, and experimentation.”
The exhibition will be on display through Nov. 30. OMAM is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and 12-4 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is by donation and free for members and veterans.
