The 24th annual National Juried Competition: Works on Paper, at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences in Loveladies N.J. is a playground for the imagination, filled with sumptuous shapes and textures, abstract and representational. 

Seventy one works were selected from over a thousand submissions from across the United States.  Juror Ester Adler is curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Museum of Modern Art.

About the jury process for the Exhibition, Adler said, "I found myself looking for beauty in these submissions, not simply on an aesthetic level, but rather in the shared commitment to the creation of art as a way for artists to understand and shape the world.  I was not disappointed."
