The 6th Biennial Maryland Regional Juried Art Exhibition (BMRE), on display at the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) Arts Program Gallery, features original works by artists from Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
Juror Preston Sampson, a nationally recognized artist and arts educator, reviewed more than 450 submissions including painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, fiber, glass, ceramics, wood, metal, photography, and mixed media. For Sampson, the challenge was not finding quality but narrowing it to the 45 works he ultimately selected for the show.
