2023 AWARD WINNERS
Juror's Statement
(by Gina Moore)
It was an honor and privilege to serve as juror for the Crooked Creek Art League's 6th Annual Art Exhibition at Still Hopes. I admire the mission, membership, and leadership of the league. For several years, the league has been a big part of the Studio Art Program at Benedict College, involving students in junior juror roles for the annual juried show. For that I am extremely grateful. In addition, I really appreciate working with Kay Fox, who is thoughtful, articulate, and very organized.
This December show displays a wide variety of art genres, themes, styles, and a broad spectrum of materials. It is a very intimate show that conveys the talents and passions of a strong group of artists. The submissions presented an abundance of riches for me to view. That being said, my job as juror was very challenging! I appreciated the representational subjects as well as the abstract and nonobjective styles included in this exhibit.
The work that caught my eye and demanded attention was art that demonstrated strong nonverbal communication, a visual sensitivity, a connection between concept and media, and solid technical proficiency. This is the criteria I use in my practice as an art professor as well as in evaluating my personal work.
I hope the view enjoys the show as much as I loved looking at the works and selecting the arwards. I was deeply moved by some of the work and impressed at the beauty of some pieces. Again, this show is exciting and diverse. All the artists should be commended for their work and passion. They are all winners.
