JURIED EXHIBITIONS
One of the effective ways to publicize my art, as well as to get feedback on it, is to answer "calls for art." Paintings are submitted to accomplished art judges, and a determination is made to either accept or not invite the work to be included in the show or for display in the gallery. Many of the shows of the past year had been virtual and online due to coronavirus protocols, but more galleries and museums are opening to the public again. The ones listed here are ones that I have had paintings both online and in galleries, and I am most grateful for the opportunities and critiques I have gotten by taking part. I will keep this page updated for activity at galleries or in virtual exhibitions. --George
