Catalogue for the William & Mary student curated exhibition entitled "Liquid Commonwealth: The Art and Life of Water in Virginia" created as part of the academic course The Curatorial Project (ARTH 331). The exhibition explores the essential importance, richness, and beauty of water as a defining element of Virginia for all its residents. Water has become a familiar topic in recent contemporary art, but exhibitions have tended to emphasize national and international issues or very local concerns. "Liquid Commonwealth" takes a different approach by making the state of Virginia - and Virginia artists - its theme. Through an invitational approach to selection and curation, the exhibition encouraged artists across Virginia to submit works that express a range of perceptions, concerns, and joys about water as an essential element of life. Over 50 original works of art by over 50 Virginia artists were selected by the student jurors and are illustrated in the catalogue accompanied by student interpretation.
