"The task of jurying the 2009 Members Show was both pleasurable and difficult because of the overall excellence of the works submitted. I was particularly pleased to see a range of content among the works: political, whimsical, social, and gender issues; all of which were approached with respect and creative finesse. The constraints of size and space required that selected works be limited to a certain few. Had those constraints not existed I would have selected many more. I hope the audience for this exhibition enjoys the works chosen and honors them as the best from among a group of very talented visual artists." -Judithe Hernández
