Juror’s Critique

This year we are excited to announce that Wendy Castenell, Assistant Professor of African American Art in the Department of Art and Art History at The University of Alabama, will jury the 2021 MAG exhibition. Her research interests include representations of race and ethnicity in American visual culture, portraiture, photography, early cinema, and turn-of-the-century spectacles. Castenell will select between 60 and 80 works from approximately 400 entries from about 100 artists. These selections showcase some of the best contemporary art created in the River Region today.
