THANK YOU to our Exhibition Sponsor! Juror: T.

JUROR’S STATEMENT I am honored to have the opportunity to be the juror for the 2017 Yeiser Art Center Annual Members’ Exhibition. The breadth of creativity and the varied approaches to art-making demonstrated by all of the artists on display truly impresses me. The award selection process was difficult, and ultimately decisions had to be made. I feel the recipients represent a broad community of talented artists who convey a commitment to their craft. It was a pleasure spending time looking at all of the work and I am positive that visitors to the exhibition will enjoy and be inspired by the range of work and the quality of craftsmanship on display. Selecting the awards was challenging with such a range of mediums, exciting techniques, and a variety of surface attention unique to each talented artist. There are areas of inspiration within each work and multiple references mirroring artists from the canon of art history. From traditional subjects and material usage, to the abstracted and non-objective, and from investment in patterning and color to more conceptual works, the artists in this show demonstrate a richness found within the arts today. I would like to extend thanks to the Stacey Reason the Executive Direcor of Yeiser Art Center for inviting me to juror the exhibition and acknowledge the work she is doing for the success of this exhibition and for her outstanding support for the arts in this community.
