ABOUT THE JUROR: As the Director of the Art Galleries at TCU in Fort Worth, Sara-Jayne Parsons drives the international curatorial vision of Fort Worth Contemporary Arts and promotes professional development of students and local artists through programming in Moudy Gallery.

Parsons has published essays in numerous exhibition catalogues and critical writing in contemporary art magazines including Source, Art Monthly Australia and ArtLies.
