WINNERS:
Established in 1922, the Annual All Media Exhibition at the Ann Arbor Art Center has a long and rich history. Submissions are accepted in any media.
In an effort to showcase regional talent, this juried competition is open to all artists who live in the Great Lakes region. Artists living in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota are invited to submit to All Media Exhibition 2015.
[spacer]We received 550 submissions from around 200 artists. Cristen Velliky, our juror, picked 60 pieces from all medias.
“The number of thoughtful and inspired entries for this exhibition overwhelmed me! From conceptual work, to realistic portraiture, to abstract landscapes, there was enough exciting artwork to easily fill three galleries. My only regret is that I had to leave out many great pieces that should have also been included. I thoroughly enjoyed the jurying process, and want to thank everyone for his/her submissions this year.”

Juror
This year’s juror is Cristen Velliky, who is currently an Associate Professor of Art at the University of Michigan-Flint campus. She had studied Philosophy and English at the University of Michigan, as well as Law at the Detroit College of Law. Cristen eventually had the opportunity to follow her passion for art, and left law school to study at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, focusing on mixed-material design. She then attended and received her Masters of Fine Art from Cranbrook Academy in 1998. Since that time, she has exhibited her multi-media, three-dimensional work in the United States as well as Europe. Selected exhibitions (both solo and group) include SOFA-Chicago at the Navy Pier, SOFA at Miami, Habatat Gallery of Michigan, the Gallery Project of Ann Arbor, the Cranbrook Museum of Art, the Network Gallery at Cranbrook, Paint Creek Center for the Arts, The Aaron Faber Gallery in New York, SUNY-New Paltz University Gallery, the Institute Europeo di Design Gallery in Milan, Italy and the Colle Val d’elsa City Gallery in Colle, Italy. Her methods for coldworked glass were also filmed by the Detroit Institute of Arts for the Robinson Collection exhibit.
