Organized by Janina Marks, the exhibition featured works by Hyde Park Art Center members in a variety of media that included photography, works on paper, paintings, and crafts. The exhibition provided Art Center members the opportunity to exhibit their work in a gallery setting and compete for awards given by a jury. The juried panel consisted of a diverse representation of Chicago’s visual arts community. The panel included Janina Marks, former membership chairman of Hyde Park Art Center and co-founder of the juried competition, Tom Blackman, a Chicago based exhibition planner, Gelsy Verna, a Chicago based artist, and Jay Dandy, an art collector and philanthropist in Chicago’s art scene.
