Juror: Linda Lucas
Thank you for the opportunity to judge the ArtCenter Manatee Members Show 2023. There was a tremendous response with over 200 entries submitted. I realized the strength and enthusiasm of both the novice and seasoned artists. As a judge, I wanted to be inclusive and balanced with traditional vision and imaginatively experimental. Although all entries could not be included in the show I do encourage many to try again in another upcoming event. Congratulations to all the entries displayed in the beautiful galleries. The prize winners were outstanding in every category. To all visitors, enjoy the creative works of many members of the ACM community.
