Juror: Our visual arts juror this year is JORDAN VINYARD
"Vulnerability is power. The work I respond to understands that exchange. It reveals bravery honestly and takes risks when it matters-- both in form and content. Most importantly, its perception of the world is uncanny. I'm excited by pieces that view it through grace, humor, and understanding in a way that can only be achieved through true empathy."
