Of the 125 artworks entered, 71 were accepted from 53 artists by juror Dr. Mika Cho, a respected arts educator, researcher, consultant, curator, and artist of Cal State L.A. In addition, a full-color printed catalog will be available for purchase within a few days of the opening.

About the exhibition, Dr. Cho said, “As far as this jurying experience is concerned, the submitted work does not have unity of content or style. Some of the work certainly reflects the turbulent time that we have experienced since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and individual art practices in two- and three-dimensional works with various conceptual and technical backgrounds; however, the passion in the works of these artists was palpable.”
