Juror's Statement
Jurying this year's selection of work was more challenging than I initially expected. Where I typically find it a breeze to choose which work sticks out to me, this time there were so many instances where I found myself standing in the gallery with my clipboard, torn between artworks that showed both tremendous creativity and technical skill.
For as difficult as it was to choose between such an assortment, it was an absolute joy to take in all the expertise on display. I am confident that the chosen work displays not only the talent of the members of the Allied Artists of Johnstown, but also how varied and unique the artistic approaches are within this group.
