An annual event now in its 11th year, GoggleWorks’ Juried Exhibition is designed to showcase and reward the talents of individual artists in all media. There is no theme-artists are simply encouraged to submit their best work.
This year’s juror is Lisa Tremper Hanover, Director & CEO of the James A. Michener Art Museum, who says, “The juried exhibition process is a wonderful opportunity to experience a significant number of work submitted by a thriving community of artists. A lot of raw emotion, along with current events, were a catalyst for many of the entries. There was a nice balance of genres and I was particularly struck by the mixed media compositions and the videography work. I was also drawn to pattern surfaces and imagery that bordered on abstraction. Many of my selections include strong linear elements and sharp contrasts. The sculpture is provocative and imaginative. Overall, I was impressed with the amount of work executed on a large scale. The quality of entries for this exhibition is sophisticated, challenging, and rendered with excellence. Narrowing a field of over 600 entries to less than 100 was a daunting task, as there were many more worthy of inclusion. I congratulate all of the artists and those recognized with additional honors.”
Awards will be presented during the opening reception, on the evening of April 28th from 5:30-7:30pm with the grand prize being a solo exhibition in the Irvin & Louis Cohen Gallery, GoggleWorks’ premier exhibition space. First, second, and third prizes receive cash awards.
