Before the doors of an exhibition open, before the artwork hangs on a wall or stands on a pedestal, decisions must be made professionally and impartially.
In juried exhibits, each piece of artwork comes before a panel of evaluators who decide whether it’s the right fit for the show. Recently, interns from the Binghamton University Art Museum (BUAM) joined Claire Kovacs, curator of collections and exhibitions, in jurying an art exhibit at Austin Peay State University (APSU).
APSU’s director of The New Gallery, Michael Dickins, reached out to Kovacs to see if she and Binghamton students would be interested in jurying their annual student exhibition. Kovacs accepted, and five current and former interns joined her in the process: Morgan Moseley, Stephen McKee, Clementine Sherman, Maranda Seebarran and Alex Ritsatos.
