JURORS
The Ann Arbor Street Art Fair’s jury process is unique in that applicants are juried by one of four panels that are category specific. The 2013 jury panels are:
Jewelry, metalwork
Painting, drawing, printmaking, 2-D mixed media, photography, digital art
Wood, furniture, clay
Sculpture, 3-D mixed media, fiber, glass
Guest jurors are selected for their experience and expertise in a range of related media. A variety of backgrounds and skills are sought, including artists, educators, and museum curators. Panelists join Jury Advisory Board members to ensure both new and experienced jurors serve together.
