Each year Wayne Art Center celebrates the outstanding artistic talent and creativity of our members during WAC’s Fall Members Juried Exhibition.

WAC 2024/2025 members submitted paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, stained glass, fiber works, jewelry, photography, works on paper and mixed media works online for juror consideration. Exhibition juror William M. Perthes reviewed applications and selected work created by 134 Wayne Art Center members for inclusion in this year’s exhibition.

Join WAC and 2024 Fall Members juror, William M. Perthes for a gallery talk exploring the work chosen for this exhibition as well as insight into a juror’s perspective.

William M. Perthes is the Bernard C. Watson Director of Adult Education at the Barnes Foundation. William is an art historian whose scholarship focuses on Modernism, particularly in the United States, with a special concentration on the Abstract Expressionist painter Robert Motherwell. William has a background in philosophy, specifically John Dewey and American pragmatism. His recent work has focused on how experiences with works of art, both short and long term, can impact and inform fields as varied as business, medicine, and criminal justice.
