Every year Guild Hall is privileged to attract nationally recognized people in the art world to serve as awards jurors. This year’s guest juror is Connie H. Choi, Associate Curator of the Permanent Collection at The Studio Museum in Harlem. The 2018 Top Honor award winner is Jeff Muhs, who will soon receive a solo exhibition at Guild Hall. Free museum admission has been generously funded by Bridgehampton National Bank and Landscape Details.
