FROM THE PRESIDENT Warren Simons
President Montgomery Art Guild This 44TH Montgomery Art Guild Museum Exhibition would not be possible without the support of the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, the City of Montgomery, and all the organizations and individuals who support the museum. A deep heartfelt thanks to all of you. Thank you, Angie Dodson, director of the museum, and all the MMFA staff that made this exhibit happen, especially Jennifer Jankauskas and Sarah Graves. You are awesome! To the sponsors of this event and to the cash award donors: your financial support and love of the arts helps feed and sustain the artistic sparks of creativity that are present in the works submitted to this exhibit. A big thanks to Dr. Wendy Castenell, our juror, for selecting this strong grouping of art for our exhibition. It was no small task to review and assess the large body of accomplished artwork in order to choose the work for display. To all the artists who submitted artwork to this show: you rock! Thank you for creating your work and for entering the juried process of the exhibit. Now consider taking the next important step: keep working! The Montgomery Art Guild work committee of Sandra Polizos, Carol Ballard, Alisa Koch, and Bob Corley were key to making this exhibit a success. Thank you for your efforts! Lastly, thanks to all the viewing public who come see this exhibit. We hope this art inspires you to look—and to look again.
