2008 EXPRESSIONS NORTHWEST/ART PORT TOWNSEND JURIED SHOW. Northwind Arts Alliance and the Port Townsend Arts Commission announce the Tenth Annual 
Juried Art Competition, October 3-26, 2008. The juror of the show is Barbara Shaiman, Director of the Seattle Art Museum’s SAM Gallery, Art Sales and Rental, for the past 18 years. She is also curator of the Alexis Hotel in Seattle. As a juror, she looks for “artwork that has a strong visual appeal and is rooted in ideas I find compelling, stimulating and challenging”. Entry deadline for the show is August 11. Click below for the Juried Show Prospectus. http://artporttownsend.org/aptjuried2008.pdf
