This year's annual Tri-County Juried Exhibition is themed "To Be Honest...[tbh]." The juror was Walter Maciel of the Walter Maciel Gallery in Culver City, CA. Maciel reviewed more than 400 submissions from 176 local artists, ultimately selecting 45 works by 43 artists for the exhibition. He is well known for showing art that is edgy, youthful, creative, and often untraditional. All the pieces in TBH are for sale, with 30% of proceeds benefiting the Museum.
