From Katherine Ware, our juror for the 2016 Drawers exhibition:
“Serving as juror for Blue Sky allowed me to sample some of the most interesting work being made in the Northwest right now and to try to summarize that wealth of images for The Drawers. This is a tremendous resource that anyone can use and it changes every year. Don’t miss the opportunity to discover something inspiring.”
