Shorter
College Assistant Professor of Art Brian Taylor served as juror for
this year's competition. "I chose work that is reaching to achieve a
balance between the utilization of visual dynamics (design elements) and
the communication of idea," he said. "Media and meaning working as a
unified whole is an important standard of achievement to be strived for
and honored. I congratulate the artists in the exhibition for the
quality of achievement presented."
