We want to extend a huge thank you to those that applied! When we made a call for artists we didn't know what to expect and the response has blown us away. Over 230 individual works were submitted and reviewed by our wonderful jurors, Jenna Gard and Juventino Aranda. They have chosen to showcase 57 works in the Foundry Gallery! We hope that you will join us in celebrating Walla Walla's creative community at the opening and throughout the winter months.
The show will be on display from February - April.

Meet the Selected Jurors:
- JENNA GARD is a project manager at the Walla Walla Foundry with an extensive background in production for the fine art and entertainment industries. Prior to coming to Walla Walla, Jenna worked for fashion photography studios, art publications, independent artist collectives, and entertainment studios building scenic assets for companies such as the MoMA Design Store, MTV, and HBO. In addition to her professional life, she also maintains a practice of experimental lo-fi photography and an informal Instagram journal researching and synthesizing the oddities and backstories that appear throughout the history of art.
- JUVENTINO ARANDA is a multidisciplinary artist whose processes and material choices dismantle social stratifications. His work is an exploration of media mixing that is both high and low, native and foreign, other and accepted to challenge the status quo and traditional American Narratives.
Aranda received his BFA from Eastern Washington University. He currently maintains a studio practice in Walla Walla, and is represented by the Greg Kucera Gallery, Seattle.
Solo exhibitions of his work include Esperé Mucho Tiempo Pa Ver (2022) at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU, Pullman, Pocket Full of Posies (2018) at the Frye Art Museum, Seattle, and Before I Wake (2022), In Dreams I Once Believed There Was a Future (2019) and Weed the Lawn and Feed the Roses (2017) all at the Greg Kucera Gallery, Seattle. He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions throughout the Pacific Northwest. His works are in the collections of the Frye Art Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU, and the Microsoft Art Collection.
