Local artists are gearing up for the Suffolk Art League’s annual juried exhibition, to be held Nov. 7 to Dec. 23 at the Suffolk Museum.

This year’s juror is Jennifer Foley, who holds a doctorate degree in art history from Cornell University. Foley is the Paul Mellon statewide educator at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in art history from Brooklyn College, the City University of New York, and a master’s degree in art history, also from Cornell.

The show’s first-place award includes a $500 check and the opportunity to present a one-person show at the museum in 2011.

Original works in any medium are eligible, provided they have not been previously exhibited at the Suffolk Museum and have been completed within the last two years. Works must be delivered to the Suffolk Museum on Oct. 30 or Nov. 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Two-dimensional works must be framed and wired for hanging. Entry fees are $15 for Suffolk Art League members or $45 (includes an individual membership) for non-members.
