The Juror for this year's exhibition is Helen Marie Farrant. Farrant explains in her Juror statement, "I reviewed all submissions with a focus on art history influences, presentation of a story, interpretive viewpoint, and of course, mastery of media and artistic execution. Ultimately I chose seventy-five works of art in a variety of media. When you visit the gallery, I encourage you to take time. Linger over each piece. Look for the stories. And most importantly…Enjoy!"
