Gretchen Otto, our 2007 juror, had this to say about the show: "Jurying an exhibition has always been exciting for me. My process is to look through all the entries several times to get a feel for current techniques, trends, media and viewpoint. This helps me to set a tone for the exhibition. I then begin to eliminate pieces that are not as strong in composition or organized structurally. I look for pieces with visual impact that communicate meaning. I may never know the artist's intent, but I am able to sense the aesthetic message. Lastly, I hone the philosophy of the exhibition, and, in this case - What Women Know. I am pleased to present a variety of issues and feel sure you will find them intriguing." View a slideshow of the 2007 exhibit. NEW! View a slideshow of the artwork displayed in the 2006 exhibit.
