The 2009 Arts Festival features 230 exhibitors, including 11 artistic award winners returning from the 2008 show. This year’s exhibitors were selected from over 2,000 applications, making acceptance competitive throughout the jury process. The panel of jurors was comprised of: Michael Chavez, Curator of exhibitions and education at Foothills Art Center; Trudi VanDyke, Independent Curator/Consultant/Juror in Annandale Virginia; Tracy Weil, Artist and Owner/Curator of Weilworks Gallery, Founder and Co-Director of River North Art District and Creative Principal for Weilworks. The jury panel also included two invited artists from last year’s show: sculptor Theodore Gall from Ojai, California and printmaker George Raab from Toronto, Canada.
