As a team, these two curators have a breadth of knowledge on production, analysis, and distribution of visual art, and both have firm roots in the Southern California creative landscape.

They will be making their selections soon, and, although we cannot reveal their choices until much later, we will share some of their thought processes about the individual artists and overall direction in which they are steering this ship.
