Jamestown (CSi) The JFAA 50th Annual Art Show Winners have been announced.
The Juror, Linda Whitney discussed each of her choices and mentioned that she was particularly moved by pieces that “had a narrative quality”.
She noted that many mediums were under-represented and therefore could not give a prize in these categories.
Because of this Whitney selected two honorable mention prizes that highlighted commendable pieces in glass and jewelry.

Jamestown (CSi) The JFAA 50th annual art show, Sept 13 – Oct 18, at the Jamestown Arts Center, sponsored by Otter Tail Power Company
This year is a great milestone for the Annual. It’s particularly special as it’s the JFAA Annual’s 50th year. It is a grand feat for a small town art show to survive 50 years. While participation has ebbed and flowed over the years, it continues to be a favorite exhibition for the Jamestown community.
To commemorate this milestone we have reached out to artists help us celebrate. We’re hoping they participate in the exhibit but we have also asked them to create a small commemorative artwork that will be part of a special “ticketed” preview.
The way it will work…Everyone who has a ticket will have a chance to receive an artwork (There will be a limited number of mini-artworks available–we won’t know how many until the last minute.) All incoming, donated artwork will be numbered.
Corresponding numbers will be put in a bin. Ticket stubs will also be placed in a bin and we will randomly draw one from each thus matching ticket holder to artwork.
Another change this year is that all artwork in the exhibit is for sale.
