Throughout time, artists have been skilled practitioners of self-reflection and introspection by constantly developing and analyzing a growing awareness of their self. This year’s county-juried exhibition highlights the variety of artistic thought processes and ideas that artists use to create solutions to their own struggles with self-reflection.

*This year’s work was selected by Mr. John Coppola, who served as Director of the Smithsonian Institution's Office of Exhibits Central, providing design, production and installation services to the national museum complex. He was appointed by President Obama to the National Museum and Library Services Board.
