The National Wet Paint Exhibition 2012 is an outlook and an overview of top MFA painting programs in the the United States. Wet Paint refers to the idea that this is a fresh group of artists. They are MFA (Masters of Fine Arts) candidates and recent MFA recipients working primarily in the medium of painting. Now on its third edition, this growing and highly contested juried exhibition will bring to Chicago some of the most talented emerging artists in the country. Wet Paint 2012 is fully funded by the Zhou B. Art Center and makes it possible for graduate students to submit works for consideration free of charge. Wet Paint 2012 takes place from January 20 to March 10 in the beautiful main gallery of the Zhou B Art Center. Wet Paint is curated by Sergio Gomez.
