Juried Artworks

The Cleveland Museum of Art may have no interest in re-instating its legendary May Show, but Lakeland’s Gallery Coordinator Mary Urbas has taken up the charge. For the past five years, the Gallery at Lakeland has hosted its own version of the May Show, an annual, juried exhibition of local and regional art. This year’s May Show is selected by Tom Huck, Chief Curator of University Hospitals’ Fine Art Collection, and Lauren Davies, future Gallery Director of 2731 Prospect (currently known as William Busta Gallery). Over the past five years, organizers have awarded $20,000 in cash awards. Best in Show receives a $1500 cash prize. The Award ceremony takes place at 7 p.m. today with a reception following until 9 p.m., and the exhibition runs through July 10. Additional gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free. (Usmani)
