There were many strong applications which made decisions difficult for the jury. We appreciate the caliber of the work submitted and encourage artists who were not juried into MAS to apply again next year.

In the spirit of celebrating the visual arts and artists, those who are not selected by the jury for the Mayor’s Art Show have the opportunity to participate in the Salon des Refusés at the New Zone Gallery held on July 27 through August 25 in collaboration with the City of Eugene. The Salon will take place during the city’s very first Visual Art Festival which should prove to be a lively event that extends exhibition opportunities to artists and furthers the arts in our community.
