2018 Shrine Show
This year's Shrine Show was a wonderful success. The quality of work presented is FANTASTIC. We would like to thank the Shrine for their hospitality year after year, Susan Bostwick for her gracious work judging the show, everyone who worked so hard to put the show together, and all of the artists who put their best work forward to make 2018 the best show yet!
Letter from the Juror:
An impressive number of people stopped to look at your work while I was here yesterday. People didn't simply pause, they really looked. Excited, animated, inspired; they invited others to join them, pointing and saying "Look!". This IS a wonderful exhibit. I thank you for the opportunity and challenge, to really look (in order to judge) this show.
In addition to a mastery of materials and principals, the work I responded to exudes passion, investigation, examination, and commitment. (But there are oh-so-many that should/could receive an award.)
I am inspired.
- Susan Bostwick
