CoPA’s and WPCA’s Annual Midwest Juried Photo Exhibition draws artists from Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota. The show offers viewers an opportunity to experience contemporary work by emerging and established regional photographers. This year, from over 100 Midwest artists, juror Natasha Egan chose the work of 34 artists.
Egan describes the chosen photography: The works submitted moved me with their range in photographic style, technique, subject matter and ideas. When asked to jury an exhibition of this style it is fairly impossible to make some sort of curatorial sense out of it, but I can say that the majority of the selected photographs convey a distinctive humanistic quality.
