JUROR’S STATEMENT
I have greatly enjoyed the jury process for this 14th Annual International Juried Exhibition at Gallery 110. The diversity and quality of artworks submitted was impressive. Through these submissions, I have become aware of many accomplished artists brand new to me. That is both humbling and exciting, and clearly reflected in the final selections. As a curator, I believe it is my professional responsibility to expand my awareness of working artists.
Online jury processes have pitfalls. However, in recent years there have been great improvements in enlarging images, and presenting artwork and artist details. Thanks to all of the artists who applied. Thanks also to those at Gallery 100 who worked on this multi-step annual exhibition. Juried exhibitions are important and complicated, and I appreciate being part of this.
