2009 was the inauguration of a merit award system to
recognize exceptional work by artist participating in Inland
Crafts. Nine artists were selected to receive $100 each.
Inland Crafts is proud to have adopted this appropriate
recognition for professional contemporary craft artists. A
description of the system follows:
Juror profile: An appropriate professional from this region
such as: a gallery or museum curator/or an established elder
artist-collector. The juror will identify work that is
particularly exciting in texture and color for its medium,
with well executed technique and especially captivating
design. The overall body of work must be presented in an
effective or innovative manner; well lighted and compelling
to the viewer. The decisions of the juror are personal and
final. Up to 9 awards may be presented, but the juror is
free to select fewer. The awards are not necessarily
distributed by media. Board members are not eligible for
awards. |
