Juror's Statement
    My congratulations to the members, staff and especially the volunteers who keep The Art
 Alliance of Central Pennsylvania alive and well. The lasting reputation of your organization
 extends beyond your immediate region.
    In a regional juried exhibition, as the juror, I feel a responsibility to show the public the best
 and most challenging work from a variety of viewpoints. In this 2010 exhibition there are
 excellent pieces done in the traditonal media - watercolor, oil, acrylic, clay, wood, pastels,
 printmaking.  Words like encaustic, recycled, collaged, and monoprint may send some new
 art patrons to the dictionary. Digital photography has become a valid new media and other
 new technology will begin to influence and challenge artists in creative ways.
    In choosing and awarding this exhibition I looked for technical control as well as freedom. I
 appreciated the work that demonstrated an original concept as well as those that showed
 artistic skills. All of these various approaches are valid.
    What holds the show together?  Quality.
    I was honored to be invited as this show’s juror. Thank-you.

 Fall Colors Studio Tour
     October 16 & 17, 2010 
     Artists who are members of the Art Alliance are invited to
 participate in our Studio Tour this fall. We are producing a full color
 brochure that will include an image of each artist's work, studio
 address, and website as well as a map and other information.
 Brochures will be widely distributed through the Convention and
 Visitors' Bureau here as well as those in surrounding counties,
 hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, framing shops, and other locations. The
 tour is a wonderful opportunity for you to visit with people who have
 collected your art previously and to introduce others to your work.
