Learning from the Judges

Left to right: Teri Muse, Julio Suarez and Cynthia Padilla.

LISTENING TO THE CRITICS was the theme of DAFA’s June 2014 program. DFW-area artists Teri Muse, Cynthia Padilla, and Julio Suarez were the panelists assembled by DAFA program chair, Vet. They discussed the elements they consider when jurying and judging an art show. (Two of the three – Teri and Cynthia -- have recently juried DAFA member shows.) 

The discussion gave members the opportunity to learn what excites and interests trained artists as they examine the digital photographs presented to them in show entries – and then what moves them as they select winners once a show has been hung.
