Jury & Sales
Artistic work is juried based on artistic theme (design, vision, creativity, originality), technical execution (technique, skill, degree of difficulty, mastery of materials), and pricing based on market and past sales. The Clarke County Historical Association receives 35% of the sales price of each piece to fund continued maintenance and operation of the Burwell-Morgan Mill.
