Brand Associates Purchase Award Collection: Retrospective Exhibition is a selection of art works purchased by the Associates of Brand Library from their annual national juried exhibitions. The annual exhibitions have been organized and sponsored by the Associates since 1971. This special retrospective exhibition will showcase the art works by artists who have been recipients of the Purchase Award at the annual juried exhibitions.
The Purchase Award, given by the Associates of Brand Library, is bestowed to one or more works at the annual juried exhibition that is felt to be outstanding in artistry and technique. The Associates award the recipient, by purchasing the piece for their art collection and as a legacy to each annual exhibition.
The Associates’ Purchase Award Collection now contains over 100 pieces of artwork. A selection of pieces acquired by the Associates from the 1970s through 2007 will be exhibited with an emphasis on artworks by California artists. There will be several works by artists from Glendale and neighboring cities.
This retrospective exhibition is being mounted for multiple purposes:
- To showcase the extraordinary works and artists collected by the Associates of Brand Library for more than thirty-seven years.
- To create awareness of the volunteer efforts achieved by the Associates of Brand Library for the arts in Glendale since their inception in 1969 until now.
- To create awareness of the Brand Associates National Juried Exhibition and other artistic programming at Brand Library including the annual dance and music series.
- To promote the collection’s availability to make the public aware that selections from the collection are available on loan for exhibition in public buildings such as the City of Glendale, libraries, schools and businesses.
The Associates of Brand Library is a non-profit volunteer organization whose purpose is to aid and promote the Brand Library and its Art Center through sponsorship of programs and donations, and to foster art and music education in the community.
