The exhibit is juried by distinguished painter and printmaker Donald Sultan, Art to the Point features works that demonstrate clarity of purpose and vision. “Today, there are too many crutches for people to hide behind – ideologies, pasting junk together, random installations, words, craft, appropriation, and so on,” wrote Mr. Sultan in his juror’s statement. “Artists have to say what they mean, and say it clearly.” From the 697 pieces that were submitted for consideration by artists from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, 88 were chosen for the exhibition. First prize was awarded to Robert Brush for Golden Diaphragm, second prize to Dana Rosenberg for Meditation, and third prize to Sherry Camhy for Innocence.  Click here to see the full list of accepted artists.The guest judge is the artist Donald Sultan.
