Annual Juried Exhibition 2026

Annual Juried Exhibition 2026

Date

March 13, 2026 - April 04, 2026

Location

Sullivan Family Gallery

The BAYarts Annual Juried Exhibition is a vibrant community tradition, highlighting a diverse range of artwork selected by jurors and created by artists near and far. Artists are invited to submit work for consideration between January 15 and February 21 using our online submission portal. Selected works will be featured in the exhibition opening March 13.

SUBMISSION PORTAL

The Jurors

This year, we are honored to have two distinguished jurors.

Ross Lesko

Ross Lesko has over twenty years of experience as a gallery director. He has curated numerous exhibitions in private galleries, art centers and museums. He represents a group of international contemporary artists, and maintains and curates a collection of unique, historical artwork. His analysis and evaluation of art draws from a vast knowledge of contemporary and historical art, incorporating a wide aesthetic spectrum, consisting of various regions, cultures, styles, periods, and mediums.

Judith Brandon

Judith Brandon is an acclaimed Cleveland-based artist, known for her large-scale mixed-media works on paper. A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art (1987), Brandon has cultivated a career marked by artistic excellence. Through bold vision and emotional impact she explores the raw power of nature and the depths of the human spirit. Her innovative technique of incising, ink wash and multi- layered pastel drawing guides the viewer between the natural world and inner consciousness. Brandon’s work has received widespread recognition, including the Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award and multiple honors from the Butler Institute of American Art Midyear Exhibitions. She has had solo exhibitions at the Canton Museum of Art and The Southern Ohio Museum and Kenneth Paul Lesko Gallery.
