Pulse 2023
Saturday, January 7 – Sunday, January 29, 2023
IA&A at Hillyer presents Pulse 2023, an exhibition that recognizes the role of Hillyer’s Advisory Committee in identifying artists for solo and group exhibitions at Hillyer’s renowned contemporary art space. The exhibition features work by some of Hillyer’s past notable members such as Helen Frederick, Renée Stout, and Tom Wolff, and current members, Joan Belmar, Nikki Brugnoli, Anna U Davis, Elsabe Dixon, Cianne Fragione, Pat Goslee, Laurel Lukaszewski, Cory Oberndorfer, John Paradiso, and Amber Robles-Gordon.
David Furchgott, the founder of International Arts and Artists, who opened Hillyer in April 2006, formed the Advisory Committee to establish roots in the art community early on, turning to renowned artists and scholars like Bill Christenberry, Renée Stout, David Driskell, and Sam Gilliam, among others, to get the project underway. From 2006 to the present, Hillyer has featured over 350 exhibitions and roughly 1,325 artists in solo and group shows.
