Friday night was a great reception for the Members Show “It's Still Life”, thank you to all who came and celebrated with us!
There are 32 artists represented in the show and 45 pieces of art. The show will be up until March 13th. Please come and see it!
The Jurors for the Members Show Awards were:
Patrick Mauk-General Manager of DVAC
Sherryl Kostic-Artist and Gallery Owner of “would you, could you, IN A FRAME”
Jason Morgan-Portrait and Still Life Painter Extraordinaire
We'd like to tell you a little about how the awards were chosen,
First to keep the artists anonymous, a temporary number was placed by each art piece, instead of a tag with name.
Our 3 wonderful jurors came to the gallery and spent a total of 6 hours looking at the work in this show and discussing it.
Then each individually chose 10 pieces to fill out a form on.
Each form has 4 questions and a number system of 1-5. Some of the jurors also wrote comments on the back.
The numbers were totaled from all 30 forms and double checked.
Lastly the identifying numbers were checked for the names of the artists.

For her Oil On Wood piece “Memento Mori” Corrine Bayraktaroglu
For her Oil Painting “Matisse Homage” Christine Klinger
