Judges Remarks:
Difficult show to judge as there were several strong pieces. Wide array of subject matter and styles, great diversity. Many of the works felt fresh, every time I came back to them. I gravitated to the pieces that challenged me most and offered interesting approaches.

Excellent venue for this installation where one could relax and spend time with the art. Great job to all the artists, keep up the good work!
