The Juried Art Exhibition helps promote the creation and recognition of original paintings and ceramic arts. This year's juror Brian Byrn, Director and curator at the Midwest Museum of American Art, brought an expert eye to this year's selection, helping to ensure the highest standards and integrity.
171 applicants from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Maryland, and California submitted work for consideration. 100 works by 97 artists will be exhibited. Because of high competition just 24% of the pieces were selected of the 416 submitted.
