23rd Annual Juried Student Exhibition
March 19 – April 17, 1999 JUROR'S STATEMENT Art exists beyond artists. At any moment, on any day somewhere an artist creates something that connects to it, and makes art. Making something that is art isn't easy and it doesn't happen that often but it's the job...the mission. The ratio of failure to success is enough to make any sane person look somewhere else for satisfaction. The choice to search, take on the work, is courageous and costly but the reward is worth it. I've been searching and working for more than half my life now and I welcome all and any who venture out onto the frontier. So what was I looking for among the objects and ideas left by my fellow travelers? I came looking for art. Something that went beyond the expected talent, craft and skill, something that transmitted creativity, vision and energy. The pieces I chose called out very clearly that they had these three vital components. At that moment on that day there was some very good art.
