This year's juror Robert T. Soppelsa, Senior Curator for the U.S. Department of State/ART in Embassies Program, will jury the submissions at the Donkey Mill. We will open our gallery space for early delivery by the artists in order for the public to view the outstanding work being done in the studios of our community. The chosen pieces will then be shipped to Oahu to compete for $3,500 in awards at the statewide exhibition at the Honolulu Academy of Art.
