JRAL's 2016 Members Judged Exhibit "Subject Matters"
October 2016

In October 2016, JRAL held a judged exhibit at Montpelier Center for Arts & Education called "Subject Matters".  This exhibit was judged by painting subject category, instead of media categories as in our Annual Judged Exhibit.  The exhibit featured the work of 50 member artists in five subject categories.  Our judge, Francis Thompson, is the Art Program Manager at Capital One Bank of their extensive national art collection of 4,000+ works.
