Jurors' Statements

	“It was a pleasure to serve as a judge for the Kewpee Invitational again this year. It is exciting to see the work from area students and to see that new schools are participating. We saw nice diversity in the works submitted and were able to select many quality pieces. Of special note were the ambition of the Best of Show selection, creativity in the sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media works, and the contemporary sophistication of the 1st place drawing. I wish all the students the best as they continue to create art and submit for exhibition opportunities.”
