2010 Juried Art Show
All artworks entered were on display in the Yocum Institute for Arts Education, 1100 Belmont Ave., Wyomissing, from Aug. 5 through 20, 2010. Winning artwork was revealed at an award ceremony/reception on Thursday, Aug. 5. Photos from the Winner's Reception can be found here.
Billboards debuted throughout Greater Reading on Monday, Aug. 9.
“The objective was not to pick work that was easy to digest, but to pick work that would be diverse and challenging to the average person who will drive by and see it. This show is intended to educate and broaden the community that will support the arts.”
