Jurors Comments

Submitting your art for judging can be a joyful and horrible experience. Wondering whether your painting will be accepted, awarded, recognized or rejected can be difficult for many artists. When the results are in, understanding what the juror was thinking, perhaps gain some insight into what reaction your painting had or what other paintings caught the juror's eye may or may not be helpful. In the end juroring each show is a subjective moment between the juror and all of the entries they must select from. A different day or even a slightly different selection may change the results. To help SDWS members understand more about the jury process, SDWS has begun to ask jurors for comments to make available to our members.  Please remember these are informal comments provided for insight and context for the show being judged. They should be considered just another data point the same way that artists demonstrating make comments on their process or methods.
