JUROR STATEMENT

Anna Macrae

It was a delightful opportunity to work with EAFA members to jury this exhibition. The level of professionalism and talent was very high, and also the variety of subject matter and medium. As a curator of art exhibitions for Era Living retirement communities, I enjoy working with an established arts organization, as I know artists have reached a certain level of accomplishment and are serious about their craft. This, in turn, allows me to feel confident in presenting a strong exhibition. I look forward to seeing your work in person. I never fail to be impressed viewing the work firsthand, and I know I will have a difficult job selecting the award recipients.

As we navigate this strange time, being an artist has its own set of uncertainties. Exhibiting artwork in the future seems a far-away dream right now.  I am grateful that Era Living is committed to continue with its arts exhibition program, and we are working on finding new ways to promote and honor the artists as we move forward.
