Jurors’ Statements
“Thirty-nine years is a record-breaking run for a small, largely volunteer arts organization. I am privileged to be apart of Emeryville Celebration of the Arts for the last fourteen years and always excited to see the variety and scope of the work produced in this very special community by the Bay.”
Kathleen Hanna
Curator, Juror, and Exhibition Designer
“As a long-time art advisor, studio visits have always been an essential component in getting to know the artist behind the art. The artists I visited presented the professionalism, sincerity, and dedication required to succeed in their chosen fields. The conversations, although too brief, continued to reinforce my respect for each artist and the Emeryville Arts community as a whole.”
Suzy Locke
Juror
Independent Art Advisor and Appraiser
“Emeryville boasts a unique and diverse community of talented artists and I am proud to be a juror for this year’s exhibition. I was honored to be a juror for the 10th Annual Emeryville Exhibition in 1997 and I am thrilled to be back for the 39th. Over the years a lot has changed in Emeryville, and what impressed me most about this year is how the number of exceptional artists has grown.”
