ARTIST TALK: STORM ASCHER & PHYLLIS HOLLIS

Join Curator & Guild Hall guest juror, Storm Ascher, and host of the podcast, Cerebral Women Art Talks, and Guild Hall Trustee Member, Phyllis Hollis for a conversation on Ascher’s practice & career in the art world, and her experience as Guest Juror of Guild Hall’s 85th Artist Member Exhibition.


The Artist Members Exhibition began in 1938, and Guild Hall continues this long-standing democratic tradition by hosting the oldest non-juried museum exhibition on Long Island. This lively presentation features more than three hundred works and showcases a variety of mediums. As in the traditional salon exhibition, works by established artists are exhibited alongside those of emerging talents and first-time exhibitors, offering a sampling of artistic practices within our community. This initiative provides an opportunity for audiences to support and celebrate the artists who live and work in our immediate region and for artists to sell their works. In turn, artists show their commitment to and support of Guild Hall. Early participants included James Brooks, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Alfonso Ossorio, Charlotte Park, Jackson Pollock, and many more.

Guild Hall invites nationally and internationally recognized art professionals to select the Top Honors Award and Honorable Mentions. The recipient of the Top Honors Award is given a future solo exhibition at Guild Hall.
