24th Annual Open Competitioin

Juror:
Dane Goodman
Director, Atkinson Gallery
Santa Barbara City College
.

“I have judged art at all levels from high school to the National Endowment of the Arts in Washington D.C. For jurying, I bring no agenda except to do the best I can in the given situation. I am open to all styles and media. I do look for a certain authenticity in the work, the something that makes the work the artist’s own and not someone else’s.”
