Artlink Phoenix’s 15th Annual Juried Exhibition presents the work of 15 exceptional Arizona artists. The pieces shown in this exhibition were selected by a panel of three jurors from the Arizona arts community. This year the panel was made up of Arizona State University Art Museum director, Gordon Knox; Phoenix artist, Angela Ellsworth; and critic and curator of R. Pela Gallery, Robrt Pela.

The fifteen artists featured in this show are Michael Joel Denson, Denise L. Fleisch, Kristin Forbes-Mullane, John Hyde, Jessica Jackson, Elizabeth Katz, Maggie Keane, Peter Brian Klein, Constance McBride, Lacey Shelton, Ray Skeet, Kenneth Steimle, Rossitza Todorova, Mohan Toopal, and Carol Ann Wagner.

Each spring, Artlink asks for submissions to this show and with each year, Artlink has seen a growth in its submissions. We organize this Juried Exhibition to provide an opportunity for local artists for more exposure and to expand the art conversation. We are very thankful to the jurors and all of the impressive artists who applied.
