The Guild Group Exhibition highlights new work by 44 members of the Silvermine Guild of Artists. The exhibition is curated by Susan Eisner Eley of Susan Eley Fine Art, the salon-style gallery on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. As it nears its Centennial, Silvermine celebrates its extraordinarily accomplished painters, sculptors, printmakers, and collage and mixed media artists.

"Reviewing artwork by 137 artists for this exhibition was no easy task. While culling through hundreds of paintings, photographs, prints, collages, mixed media, textiles and sculpture, I felt like a kid in a candy store," said Eley. "A plethora of well-crafted and innovative artwork greeted me at every turn…. My criteria for selecting art has been the same since 2006, the year I established a contemporary art gallery on the Upper West Side of New York City. Art that attracts me is executed with a high level of craft and technical proficiency, and expresses something new that I have never seen before."
