Jurors
This year, 12 jurors and 7 members from the Jury Advisory Group have been selected to jury the art work for the 2008 Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, the Original.
Jurors are selected for their experience and expertise in a range of related media. A variety of backgrounds and skills are sought, including artists, educators, and museum curators. Panelists are rotated to ensure both new and experienced jurors serve together.
The Jury Advisory Group meets in a final session to review the invitations from all juries and media categories, and establish a wait list.
