JUDGES STATEMENT:
Jeffrey Price, owner of Artists' Market in Norwalk, selected the winners from entries
submitted by 97 RAC exhibiting members. He says, “The excitement here is seeing
artists going beyond the limits of their medium and using their technique to express
something really interesting. In this exhibit one will find not only skillful and beautiful
pictures, but also quiet revelations and astonishing excitement.”
