About the Artist Panel:
The Artist Panel is responsible for the exhibition schedule at Artlink. The panel is made up of 15 professional artists and two student representatives from Indiana Purdue University Fort Wayne and the University of Saint Francis. The Executive Director of Artlink chairs this committee. Each artist represents a different media to ensure the exhibitions are broad in their scope. The panel meets once each month to review and plan exhibitions. The Artist Panel selects and juries entries unless otherwise noted on the prospectus. The jury criteria is listed below. Each panel member may serve two consecutive three year terms.
