Jurors

Bally_jurors

Andre and Virginia Bally

 

Andre and Virginia have worked collaboratively on art projects for over 35 years. They have been accepted in many venues and galleries as a single entity, an inseparable team. They formed Bally Studios in 1994 and as a team have curated many exhibits and shows, their latest being the Texas Dimensional Exhibition at the San Antonio Art League and Museum in January 2023.

​

Andre and Virginia feel very strongly about promoting, championing and advocating for 3D art as fine art. With their primary media being clay, they each bring a unique skill set, resulting in the creation of unique, energetic, and  engaging works themselves. Over time, their focus has evolved and now consider their work to be more mixed media as they are constantly exploring new materials and finishes.

 Jury Procedures

The images submitted by the applying artist are reviewed by the jurors in a blind jury process. The identities of artists are not disclosed to jurors. Submitted images must be original work and created by the applying artist. Artwork is considered solely on the merit of the work viewed. 
 
The process, materials, and dimensions for each image as well as artist information statements will be made available to the jurors. The selection of artists will be based on artistic excellence and overall impression of the work submitted by the artist. Images are to accurately represent the artist's body of work.

​

A body of work is a cohesive display of art that share consistent elements, such as subject, style, theme, palette, medium, or presentation.
