INAUGURAL INVITATIONAL Advisory Council

AWRA appoints an Advisory Council for each Invitational, with its composition tailored to the particular exhibition. The Inaugural Invitational Advisory Council brings together distinguished practicing artists and an accomplished art historian whose complementary expertise spans painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, art education, and scholarship. Collectively, they offer informed perspectives on technical mastery, artistic interpretation, historical lineage, and conceptual ambition across the breadth of representational art.

The Council is not involved in selecting or inviting participating artists. Once the participating artists have been confirmed, Council members will provide advisory feedback as the Curator selects the works to be exhibited. The Council will determine the juried awards for the Inaugural Invitational, and its members will serve in a non-exhibiting capacity.
