The Southwest Washington Juried Exhibition is designed to serve artists in the area by providing a high-quality exhibition opportunity that promotes the region’s creative identity. This year, visual arts professional Esther Luttikhuizen will act as the exhibition Juror. Luttikhuizen holds a Master in Fine Arts degree from the University of Washington and has nearly 20 years of experience managing galleries, curating, and jurying exhibitions. She will identify four merit award winners and will also select the works that the college will purchase for its art collection displayed across campus. Awards will be presented at a special opening reception on Thursday July 7 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The exhibition runs from July 5 through August 25 at The Gallery at the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts. The Gallery is open Monday through Thursday from noon to 4:00 p.m. during the summer, or by appointment.
