The Arts Council of Wayne County proudly presents our 47th Annual National Juried Art Show, a national exhibition featuring a diverse collection of original artwork from talented artists across the United States. Selected through a juried process led by artist and juror Sally Jacobs, just 50 original works were chosen from the submissions to be featured in our Main Gallery.
