About the Juror | Helen Popinchalk is a full-time artist and assistant professor at Simmons University in Boston, MA where she is also the Director of the Trustman Gallery and curator of the University art collection. She teaches screen printing, printmaking and a variety of other studio courses including collage and mixed media and artist’s books. Helen earned her B.A. in Studio Art and Arts Administration from Simmons University and her M.F.A. in Printmaking from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. Her work has been widely exhibited in Boston and beyond. She is a founding member of Trifecta Editions, a print collective that produces affordable, innovative, limited edition screen prints and art objects. In 2016, she fell down the rabbit hole of installation art when she collaborated on a blacklight poster show with two other Boston-area screen printers. From there, squeegee in hand, she never looked back. Most recently, she and fellow artist Andrew Bablo completed a full gallery restoration of a 1950s atomic-era soda fountain at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley (www.yuccafountain.com). She lives in Andover, MA but her heart resides in the badlands of the American southwest.
Juror’s Statement | Holed-up in quarantine, unable to travel, visit friends and family and do the things we love, this year has been a study in isolation. I’ve missed going to exhibitions, galleries and museums to celebrate art and artists alike. When the Cambridge Art Association invited me to select pieces for their upcoming Emerging Artists Exhibition, I jumped at the chance. This experience and the art it has introduced me to has been a breath of fresh air, a cure for the “art isolation blues.” It has been an honor and a privilege to participate!
My selections encompass a wide variety of media and demonstrate a deep well of artistic talent. We can all look forward to more from these extraordinary up-and-coming artists in the years ahead. Until then, I extend my sincere gratitude to the CAA and all of the artists that submitted work for consideration.
