Juror’s Statement:
It was my honor and pleasure to serve as juror for the 11th Annual Eastern West Virginia Juried Exhibit at the Berkeley Arts Council. My thanks to the Berkeley Arts Council for trusting me with this endeavor and walking me through the process to ensure its success.
It was inspiring to see the wealth of talent we have here in the eastern panhandle. The abundance of strong entries presented a challenge when narrowing down the number to be exhibited.
