I've been posting about a mock jury that I'm holding. The deadline is coming up March 31st. If you don't understand the concept of a mock jury, it's a jury image evaluation, a critique of your jury images and booth as you would use them to apply to art shows. My mock jury is going to use two show directors plus one high end ceramic artist to critique your images. You'll be able to learn from their critique and improve your chances of getting into better shows.

I've been a big proponent of attending open juries and mock juries ever since some art shows started holding them in the digital submission world. It's one of the best things you can do to improve your presentation because you are seeing how your images present as a group and what your competition is submitting. Only two shows have regular image evaluation juries, Cherry Creek and St Louis. Recently St Louis did their mock jury on Zoom but they used a ZAPP scoring template which only showed thumbnails making it difficult for viewers to see detail in the jury images. I've created a template that fills the screen in Zoom making it much easier to see the work and what the artist is describing in their artist statement. The picture I've been posting of my own jury image set from a few years ago is what your images will look like as presented to my jurors and all the artists viewing the jury. It includes the artist statement easily readable on the same page as all five of your jury images.
