​The Juror:  

Todd Burroughs is the founder of Atelier Art Studio. He is best known for his realist drawings, oil paintings and passion for teaching. He has received numerous awards and honors for his art.
Todd's fresh perspective to teaching is shaped by his life-long research into art-making techniques, advocacy for youth education and the development of accessible studio practices for all. He regularly shares his knowledge through lectures and teaching from the studio.

My art is an exploration of symbolism in an attempt to get at personal truth. I often paint isolated subjects which are autobiographically symbolic of current events in my life.
My core belief is that within painting there is a rhythm to be found between technique and concept. The seductiveness of a well-rendered painting can make a viewer more open to considering the symbolic aspects of a work of art. The rhythm I personally seek in my paintings is for the technique to look like the concept and for the concept to carry the weight of the commitment demanded by my technique. By painting the minute details of my subjects, my paintings reflect the layers of meaning inherent in my chosen symbols.
​

Gallery Store

• Artists must drop off their items to a Gallery Shop team member, Wednesday, May 1 from 4 pm to 7:00pm
• Display of your work is determined by the Gallery Store Curator ONLY in order to maintain a cohesive display.

• The Guild’s store displays are table-top only.
• A maximum of ten pieces will be accepted from each artist with each item priced at $200 or less. The number of items displayed is determined by the size of the item and the amount of display space available. If there is not enough room to display all ten items from an artist, then when an item is sold a team member will replace it with another of that artist’s pieces held in inventory. A minimum of 5 items from each artist will be shown at one time. If space allows, all ten of the artist’s items will be displayed.
• Artists may submit replacements for items sold. Drop off your replacement items with the store cashier after the event opening. You may not add any replacement items to your display. All replacement items must be added to the inventory list and have an inventory tag adhered to it. A Gallery Store team member will place your item.

 ​Matted prints and originals: No individual item may exceed 200 square inches. All items must be professionally wrapped with cellophane covers. Originals and prints should be labeled so. Artists can provide an appropriate bin for their artwork. Clear acrylic containers are preferable.  Your matted artwork may be combined with other artists in the Guilds free-standing portfolio bins. 

Cards: Cards may be displayed with other artist’s work. If you have a simple bin for your cards, please bring it with your merchandise. No baskets.
 
Framed / canvas art: No item may exceed 150 square inches (e.g. 12” x 12”), including frame. A small table-top easel must be provided with each item for display.
