This year Works on Paper is juried by Holly Doan Spraul. Holly is the curatorial and operational Director of Wash Park Art Gallery (WPA). Located in Cincinnati Ohio’s historic Over-The-Rhine neighborhood, since its founding in 2013 WPA has been leveraging its high-visibility location to amplify artists in all media and styles. Holly assembles works of art that not only meet standards of artistic excellence individually but combine in curation to say something more than the sum of its parts. She creates thoughtful exhibitions poled around thought-provoking themes and displayed with attention to viewer experience—ease of eye-travel through the gallery, didactics that aid in parsing intention and understanding the artist’s accomplishment—with the aim of expanding gallery-goers’ general expectations and personal preferences in viewing and collecting art.
