The Valdosta National 2021 presents the best in contemporary art nationally in an all-media competition. Hosted by the Valdosta State University (VSU) Dedo Maranville Fine Arts Gallery in Valdosta, Georgia, 2021 is the 33rd year of the annual fine arts juried exhibition.
For the first time ever, the Valdosta National is presented online. It was an extremely competitive process, as 875 individual works of art by 304 adult artists from across the United States submitted up to three images each for consideration for inclusion. It was the very tough task of juror and judge Claire Dempster to select a strong and cohesive exhibition out of so many entries, and then to award the top four honors.
Juror and judge Ms. Claire Dempster selected 70 works by 66 artists from 29 states. Awards totaling $1500 were given as follows: First $500, Second $400, Third $350 and Fourth $250.
Thank you to all the artists who entered the competition, whether juried or not. We at the Dedo Maranville Fine Arts Gallery appreciate every one of you! Thank you also to the VSU Department of Art & Design and the College of Arts for your unwavering support.
