"I am honored to serve as juror for this year's annual show at the Arkell Museum. It was exciting to view new, never before seen works by artists from across the state. The challenge to edit 217 works (the great majority of which are of excellent quality and certainly eligible for inclusion) down to 46 was difficult. I hope that my selections reflect the diversity of media, aesthetic sensitivity and commitment to craftsmanship that I found among these works." – Paul Marcellino
