A message from the Juror:
“Jurying the Concord Art MJ2 exhibition was so much fun, but whittling down the submissions was no easy task! Difficult and sometimes granular decisions were made in the interest of capturing a broad and nonrepetitive range of voices while simultaneously striving to avoid an overly packed, cacophonous installation. But I believe we succeeded in selecting a body of work that’s compelling at a micro level, in the unique appeal of each component piece, and at a macro level, for this exhibition’s diversity of genre, materials, and processes. Some selections were impressive for their skill level, others for their freshness or wit, some for their composition, mark making, and/or delicious color relationships, and still others for their sense of poetry and grace.”
