About this Award: Art works winning purchase awards become part of the museum's permanent collections. They are chosen for their technique and artistry as well as for the way in which they compare and contrast with other items in our collections. Any medium is eligible.

Juror's Comments:
Diane Dittemore and Patrick Lyons: The potter demonstrates great control of the seed jar shape, and fine painting hand.
