About the Juror:
John C. Wagoner will juror the exhibit.
"John C. Wagoner is a former Associate Professor of Art at Bossier Parish Community College in Bossier City, LA. He received his Master of Fine Arts in Painting from Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, MI and his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, IA. Wagoner currently resides in Williamsburg, VA.
He has over twelve years of teaching experience at the college level. He was selected and awarded as a 40 Under 40 Honoree by the Young Professionals Initiative in 2015. He was also awarded the “Excellence Award in Teaching” from the National Institute of Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) in 2014. Before teaching, Wagoner was a professional mount maker at Sanders Museum Services for four years. He has installed various artifacts and artworks in museums nationwide.
Wagoner creates three-dimensional paintings or sometimes referred to as “paint sculptures.” He provides a commentary on the idea of painting not yet being dead and that this medium still has some tricks up its sleeve. Overall, when asked about his artwork and what it means, he asks, “What defines a painting?” Take a closer look and you’ll see that the object is entirely made out of acrylic paint.“ See more at www.madeoutofpaint.com.

Special Notes:
What you type is what we use! Be careful when entering data, (your name, titles, prices, medium and sizes). We use what you type to produce the catalog sheets, labels and the website. We will not change the prices or other information once you have submitted the form. Please don't use all lowercase or all capitals. Thank you for your kind attention to these few rules.
Using a MAC? Sometimes JotForm and MACs don't work well together. Give us a call and we can try to create a work around to get your artwork submitted. If you visit the art center we can assist you on one of our computers if you are having problems.
