Now | Contemporary 2020 was juried by Danielle Avram, a curator and writer based in Dallas, TX. She has held positions at Texas Woman’s University; Southern Methodist University; The Power Station and The Pinnell Collection, and The High Museum of Art. She has an MFA from the School of The Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University, and a BA from the University of Texas at Dallas.
In regard to her selections for the exhibition, Avram writes, “Jurying an exhibition is not a one-size-fits-all process. Jurors are selected because of their experience in the field, but each comes in with a set of preconceived ideas and interests that will undoubtedly influence their decision. Therefore, the process becomes a balancing act between staying true to those ideas and interests while honoring the submitted works in order to craft a compelling narrative about this particular slice of contemporary art.
Let’s all join and support the work from ARTROOM and their effort to keep us closer!
