USArtists 2010

Welcome to the 18th USArtists American Fine Art Show, one of the nation’s foremost art expositions. This is the first year USArtists is held within the galleries of PAFA, and the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff and students of the Academy are proud to welcome home an event that has so benefited the Academy from its inception 18 years ago. The Women’s Board’s idea of assembling influential art dealers and serious collectors has long been joined with the wish to bring those dealers and collectors directly onto the PAFA campus, so this year represents a significant step in the USArtists evolution. The Academy is grateful for the dedication and volunteer work of USArtists Co-chairs Diana H. Bittel, Sandra L. Nesbitt, Lisa O’Connell and Women’s Board President Alicia A. Sterling. In addition, we wish to thank this year’s Honorary Chairs, Anne and Matt Hamilton, along with the volunteers of the USArtists committee and the PAFA Women’s Board. Our sincere appreciation goes to 36 of the nation’s most prominent fine art dealers, all of whom honor us by participating in this year’s show. Their presence is key to continuing the prestigious reputation and success of USArtists. Enjoy the show! Donald R.
