KENT—The Kent Art Association’s Fall Juried Show show will open Thursday, Oct. 10, and run through Saturday, Nov. 2.

An opening reception will be offered Sunday, Oct. 13, from 2 to 4 p.m.

At the end of the reception, sculptor Conrad Levenson will speak about his processes and the inspirations for his work.

Levenson salvages scrap materials and obsolete objects and repurposes them into works of art incorporating balance and motion.

The sculptures range in size from the intimate to large scale installations.

“My sculptures evoke the former times, places, lives, unique character and embedded energy of their source materials,” he said. “I tell their stories as I explore and mediate the essential relationship between their form and content.”

The KAA has his sculptures on display in front of the KAA this year.

Receiving days for the juried show will be Friday, Oct. 4, from 3 to 5 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 5, from 10 a.m. to noon. each day.
