This year’s exhibition juror is Faith J. McKinnie, curator and owner of the Faith J. McKinnie Gallery, a contemporary art space in Sacramento. McKinnie’s curatorial practice notably champions underrepresented and marginalized queer artists and artists of color. Ms. McKinnie selected the artwork for the exhibition as well as the student art awards.
