The May Show 2010
Juried Exhibit

The purpose of this exhibit is to showcase outstanding visual art and artists without regard to the type of media. The exhibit is being organized with the advice of a number of artists locally and from the Bay Area and with input from several museum directors and curators.

The pieces selected for the show will depend only on the quality of the work and the juror's concepts of art. There will be no fixed media categories and no restrictions on entries, other than size of the pieces and the inability to include film, installation and performance art.

The distinguished juror for the first May Show will be Lucinda Barnes, Chief Curator of the Berkeley Art Museum.
