Congratulations to all the winners of this year's Member Show. The show ran from May 20 until June 26 at the Aiken Center for the Arts in Aiken, SC.
This year's show was judged by Alan MacTaggart, Chair, Department of Art, and Professor of Art, Augusta State University. "It was a joy to see the wide range of extraordinary talent at work in Aiken. All media showed strongly and this is a show to be justifiably proud of. The sheer numbers of work submitted made me choose to eliminate 30 works only because of space and the finalists will reinforce the whole of the selected best. Obviously there are wonderful masters of many crafts in Aiken. This one of the best of a membership regional show I have had the privilege to judge. Thank you.....enjoy." Alan MacTaggart
