Juror's Statement

"Having served on the Georgia Council for the Arts for several years as well as curating and jurying many previous exhibitions, I don't believe I have ever seen such a concentration of talent in one area. The elation I felt in viewing such exceptional and diverse work was tempered throughout the day by the prospect of having to fulfill my juror's mission and select a show. Excluding any of this fine work was excruciating, and I want all the artists to know that the work I saw in Spartanburg was some of the finest I've seen anywhere. Also, due to the high quality of of the work, my way of resolving the presentation of awards in some cases was to recognize individual artists rather than a specific piece of art." --Jack Leigh
