Elton Burgest
Multi-Media Artist & Guest Juror for 2023 Creative Tallahassee
| |
Multi-media artist Elton Burgest lent his artistic eye as a juror for this year’s Creative Tallahassee exhibition, which runs through June 5 at City Hall Art Gallery. Since April, this year’s Creative Tallahassee exhibition has filled the walls of the City Hall Art Gallery. As part of the Art in Public Places program, sponsored by the City of Tallahassee and presented by the Council on Culture & Arts, this curated exhibit features a vast array of 2-D and 3-D media by artists in the community. Highly educated visual artists from the Capital City region carefully reviewed and judged each submission.
The guest juror is selected because of their active and persistent dedication to local arts and unique knowledge of various artistic mediums. Still, art can be subjective, and judging it can be intimidating for everyone involved. Luckily for the artists who submitted, this year’s Creative Tallahassee juror Elton Burgest recognized and respected that creating art is a highly personal journey artists take when creating art.
