Juror’s Statement:
Due to the large amount of incredibly strong work in this exhibition, the jury process was a challenging task. Ultimately, the final awards were selected based upon three possible attributes: overall technical skill, creative personal vision, and an innovative approach. Some compositions masterfully excelled in one of these categories, but priority was given to works that combined two or more of these important qualities.
However, it was a pleasure to spend time with all the artworks in this diverse exhibition! Each artist truly brings something unique and special to contemplate and enjoy. Thank you all for your beautiful talent and creativity!
With sincerity,
Angelo Ray Martínez, M.F.A.
Assistant Professor of Visual Arts
