The Space Around You by Wade Mickley HAMPTON, VA – (August 29,


2016) – The Virginia Artists 2016


Juried Exhibition is currently on view at The Charles H. Taylor Arts Center through October 9, 2016. This annual competition, one of the largest and most comprehensive in the state, once again showcases the diverse talents of Virginian artists and craftsmen. Juror, Jeffrey W. Allison, the Paul Mellon Collection Educator at The Virginia Museum of Fine Art in Richmond, VA selected and presented $6,750 in cash


awards, including the $1,500


Best in Show award for Greg Henry a photograph by Kristin Skees. Out of 881 entries submitted by 335 artists from all across Virginia, the juror selected 102 art works in all styles,


genres, and media. “It’s been an honor and a


privilege to review a remarkably wide range of works from across the state and to then get to know the artists, at least a bit, through viewing the works hung for the exhibition,” says Allison. “An overwhelming number of the submissions demonstrated a pursuit for excellence and were of very high quality


and professionalism Visit which


made the process most difficult but also extraordinarily rewarding.”
