More than $4,000 worth of cash and prizes was awarded. The exhibit continues through June 3, 2005, in the Milliken and Parsons galleries of the Spartanburg County Museum of Art. The show was juried by Gwen Diehn, a professor in the art department at Warren Wilson College who began the school's printmaking and artists' books programs. During the jurying process, Diehn selected 78 pieces from the 230 entries through a painstaking process of elimination. "Three qualities stood out as I read the material: the desire for the work in the show to be technically proficient, for the artists to have pushed beyond the expected, and for the work to be memorable in some way," Diehn explained in her jurorís comments. Diehn, who noted the variety and range of the pieces entered, said that after she had made her selections for the show, she put them all together and looked for patterns among her choices, noticing that the pieces she had chosen all exhibited a degree of complexity. "Even pieces that at first glance seemed simple, always ended up revealing either very subtle under layers, intriguing dissonances in color, difficult compositional elements, multiple levels of interpretation or interestingly unresolved passages," she said, adding that "the most compelling pieces are those that have a certain amount of tension or difficulty, as opposed to those that seem too resolved, too easy, too effortless." Nikki Caulk, show co-chair and a member of the Artists' Guild, explained that pieces selected for any juried show are a reflection of the juror. The juror for last year's show was a painter, muralist, illustrator and collector and performer of American folk music. Choosing jurors with different talents and interests each year, she said, insures diversity in works selected for exhibition. "The exhibition is now more than 30 years old, and the Guild and its members are more excited about it each year. The entries show the depth and variety of artistic talent in our area, gathered in one spot," Caulk said, adding that the Guild is also grateful for the patrons who recognize ability in the visual arts by supporting awards to artists. For information, call the Spartanburg Arts Center, 385 S. Spring St., at 864/583-2776.

Judging for this exhibition was done by Robin Martindale of Appalachian State University. Martindale teaches sculpture at ASU, and has been a full time professor since 1987. She graduated with a MSA from UNC, and exhibits at The Upstairs Gallery in Blowing Rock. Commenting on the event, Martindale said, "Judging the student artwork for the Caldwell Arts Council was a great pleasure. It is exciting to see the level of accomplishment that was apparent in the work exhibited and it was very hard to pick just three awards in each category. I could have given many more in each and would have given more honorable mentions if we'd had enough ribbons to give out. I picked work that I thought showed a unique approach to the subject matter, was skillfully executed and showed a good understanding of composition and design. Over all I felt the show was visually stimulating and diverse, and did a great job of highlighting the talented young artists in the community. It was an honor to be the juror." Generous sponsors include Bernhardt Furniture, Caldwell Glass, Hogwaller Development, Java Joeís, and the North Carolina Arts Council. For more information, call the Arts Council at 828/754-2486.
