You will be able to view 69 selected pieces of artwork from Door County artists and beyond at the Miller Art Museum in Sturgeon Bay starting on Saturday.  The 49th Juried Annual will begin on Saturday and features 69 artworks from 69 artists from Door County and across Wisconsin.

 A reception will be held this Friday, September 27, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and is open to the public. Welcome remarks and awards will be presented at 6 p.m., with eight winners announced for three Special Merit Awards, three Juror’s Choice Awards, the Gerhard Miller Award of Excellence, and the Bonnie Hartmann Award for Outstanding Creativity.
Curator of Exhibitions and Collections Helen Del Guidice says the Juried Annual is one of the most anticipated exhibits of the year.
 

 
 A total of 278 works were submitted for consideration and judged by three jurors. This year’s panel included Hector Acuna, artist and educator from Grafton; Laura Bickford, curator at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan; and Rebecca Carlton, artist and co-owner of Juddville Contemporary Studio Gallery in Fish Creek.
 
 The Juried Annual has expanded in recent years, including the lower-level main galleries and the upper-level Ruth Morton Miller Mezzanine. The exhibition will be on view in downtown Sturgeon Bay through Saturday, November 9.
