The Big Show | 2010 About the Big Show | Volunteer
| Juror | The Big Show is Lawndale Art Center’s annual open-call, juried exhibition. It has been an important venue through which emerging and under-represented Houston area artists gain exposure since the show’s conception in 1984. The Big Show was formerly the East End Show, sponsored by the East End Progress Association, at Lawndale’s original location. The Big Show 2010 award winners selected by guest juror, Paul Middendorf, Co-Director galleryHOMELAND and EAST/WEST Project Berlin, were announced at the opening reception on July 9, 2010. $3000 in cash awards were divided among four artists chosen by the juror. This year Lawndale received 976 submissions by 396 artists. Guest Juror Paul Middendorf, Co-Director for galleryHOMELAND, Portland, Oregon, selected 114 works by 85 artists for this year’s exhibition. Exhibiting artists include: |
