Franke Tobey Jones
2017 was my last year as curator of the Franke Tobey Jones
Senior Art Show. I feel proud that a fine tradition of showing
exceptional artwork from artists throughout the state of
Washington has been established. In 2017 47 artists had
their work juried into the show and had an opportunity to
showcase their talent at both at FTJ and at Tacoma Art Museum.
Both receptions had the largest attendance in the show's
history with accolades for the exceptional artwork represented.
2017 jurors were
Joy Hagen - Encaustic Artist and co-founder
of Gallery 103 in Seattle's Tashiro Kaplan building
Mardie Rees - Figurative Sculptor - Art Instructor and
Peter Serko - Photographer - Playright and Videographer
Thank you for a great opportunity to work with so many
talented artists these past 6 years.
