From K Space Contemporary:
“Third Coast Biennial is a national juried competition and exhibition of contemporary works of art from across the US. This year, the competition was juried by Mark L. Smith, PhD, owner and operator of Mark Smith Studio and Gallery in Johnson City, Texas. Smith is a member of the Austin Arts Hall of Fame, co-founder of Flatbed Press in Austin, and co-author of “Flatbed Press at 25.” Currently, he is serving as an art advisor to the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park’s Cabinet Oak Project, and he is exhibiting his “Hope Suite” prints at the Neil-Cochran House Museum in Austin.
“I was impressed by the quality of the works submitted. Most showed a high range of talent and excellence in concept and in presentation. Also, I was encouraged that so many of the artists addressed current social issues in their work. It is difficult for any artist juror to eliminate good works that one likes personally. One must choose between respect and pleasure. There is a finite amount of space for the exhibition, so, not all outstanding works could be included. Hopefully, there is some aesthetic coherence to those selected, a commonality of beauty, intelligence, craftsmanship, and mindfulness.”
– Mark Lesly Smith, PhD, June 16, 2022
Smith reviewed 552 works of art submitted by 199 artists. Of these, he selected 53 works of art by 49 artists for exhibition. “
