Every two years the Grimsby Public Art Gallery hosts a juried exhibition to showcase new works by artists from across Ontario. The call for entry was widely advertised earlier this year and by the May 28th deadline we had received about 250 entries. From these, the three jurors will select 35 - 40 pieces that will be in the show. The 2010 Biannual Juried Exhibition will be on display in the Main Gallery from July 23rd to August 22nd.
The jurors for our 2010 exhibition are Hamilton-based artist, Tor Lukasic-Foss, Zhe Gu, the Director of Gallery Stratford and David Taylor, now retired but formerly Curator of Gallery Lambton in Sarnia. As well as selecting the artwork, these arts professionals will have to decide which three pieces are of such significant merit that they will be awarded the first, second and third prizes, worth $500, $300 and $200 respectively. Visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite work of art during the exhibition; the winner will receive the Viewer’s Choice Award, to be announced at the end of the exhibition. The jurors will also be asked to write a brief statement, expressing their thoughts about the juried process in general and the works selected for this show.
