Craddock-Terry Gallery: 
12th Annual Juried Art Show

Even in these strange and busy times, Riverviews Artspace says the art show must go on. After a summer long open call, a great variety of artwork from 97 artists from all around the country entered the 12th Annual Juried Art Show. The 2020 juror, Jeffry Cudlin, Washington, DC-based artist, critic, curator and Professor of Curatorial Studies and Practice at Maryland Institute College of Art, meticulously selected 26 artists for the exhibition.
