Congratulations to the following artists whose artwork (as listed) has been juried in to this year’s Michigan Fine Arts Competition.

Juried by Cris Worley

Cris Worley, Juror, said, “Jurying an exhibition online is an interesting task. It narrows the selection process to almost an entirely formal approach….begging the singular question “does the work have an impact, or not?” In my own choices as a gallerist, I like to see a certain level of skill and knowledge of the material. If there are obvious conceptual or narrative components, that also plays a role. Aside from the awards given, there were many artists for which I would like to make acknowledgments, but at the end of the day, everyone here should be commended for dedicating themselves to a creative endeavor. Keep going!!!”
