Sedona AZ (March 13, 2013) – The 33rd Annual Juried Members’ Exhibition, which showcased member artists, was an exceptional collection of art in a variety of styles and media from exquisite jewelry to fine paintings to sculptures this year! The “Best of Show” was selected from the entire body of work in the exhibit and was won by David Simmer for his photography piece, “Down Time.” Awards were also presented to the first-, second-, and third-place winners for both professional and emerging artists in the following categories: photography, glass, wood, fiber, 3-d, mixed media, jewelry, drawing, colored pencil, pastel, ceramics, pottery, watercolor, oil, acrylics, and sculpture.
The Arts Center would like to thank the prestigious panel of local artists for the time and energy they gave as jurors for this exhibit: Mike Upp (ceramics), Judy Kula (drawing, colored pencil, pastel), Lucy Paradise (glass, wood, fiber, 3-D mixed media, jewelry), Fuller Barnes (sculpture), Michael Coleman (oil, acrylic), Sierra McKenna (watercolor, mixed media), Tom Johnson (photography).
The Members Juried Exhibition is the first of two important shows for Sedona Arts Center’s body of Member Artists. The second exhibition, to be held later this year, is different, but equally exciting. The “Members Open” is a non-juried show that offers patrons the unique opportunity to discover new, great artists from Sedona. It is also a chance for up-and-coming local artists to exhibit their work in a public forum – some for the very first time.
The Sedona Arts Center is located at State Route 89A & Art Barn Road in uptown Sedona. The Galleries are open daily from 10-5. For more information call 928-282-3809 or visit SedonaArtsCenter.org.
