The exhibition includes work by 17 artists, chosen by CMCA director Suzette McAvoy and independent curator Daphne Anderson Deeds, who together selected 10 artists from the 415 artists who submitted work and invited seven others to participate. The 2012 Biennial Exhibition will be open through December 2nd. The jurors' vision for this year's Biennial was to present a balance of concepts, volume, color, and texture for the exhibition as a whole. McAvoy and Deeds said that the creativity and level of quality they saw in the art submitted were exceptional and spoke to the vitality of the state's contemporary art scene.
