PHOTOS – Winter Fest Art Show: Jurors sometimes agree to disagree
The men who selected the main gallery works for the Winter Festival Juried Art Show and Sale can attest to art being a subjective experience.
“There are… artworks where I can say, I don’t know why I like it, or why I chose it, really. It just is a good piece of art, and that’s it,” said Donald Roach, one of the art show’s jurors.
Roach and Levi Nicholat, owners of Art Placement in Saskatoon, had a long list of qualifications to select the art and decide where it should be placed in the Mann Art Gallery. They each have a masters degree in studio art, and on a daily basis select art work for commercial sale at their gallery.
However, this assignment was quite different from their business ones.
