The Hunting Art Prize Announces 2015 Jurors

HOUSTON, Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunting PLC announced today that three respected members of the national arts community will serve as jurors for the 2015 Hunting Art Prize in which participants vie for a $50,000 award.  The competition, which is celebrating its 35^th anniversary, is the largest prize in the category of painting and drawing available in North America. 

Members of the jury will select the finalists and winner of the competition through a two-tiered jury process that begins in January.  The 2015 jurors are:

• Adam Justice, Curator of Art at the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, Florida
• Amy Moorefield, Deputy Director of Exhibitions at the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, Virginia
• Julien Robson, Curator of the Shands Collection and an exhibition of works by Louis Zoellar Bickett opening in March 2015 at the Zephyr Gallery, both in Louisville, Kentucky

The Hunting Art Prize is open to artists throughout Texas who are at least 18 years of age.

Entries are judged through an evaluation of digital files where jurors select individuals to move on to the second tier.  Those chosen as finalists then deliver the physical artwork represented by the digital file submitted during the call for entries phase of the competition for final consideration by the jurors in the selection of the winning work. 

The 2015 winner will be announced at the Hunting Art Prize gala on May 2, 2015, in Houston.
