Gary Wertheimer, professor of art and chair of Visual and Performing Arts Department at Olivet College, has been chosen as the selection and awards juror for the “2008 Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History Statewide Fine Arts Competition.” Michigan residents, ages 17 and older, were invited to submit work to the exhibition. The show will be held from Jan. 12 to March 6 at the gallery in Jackson.

Wertheimer, who is also the Visual Arts Program director, recently won a People’s Choice Award for the year-long sculpture exhibition, “Art in the Eye” in Marshall. His marble carving of a dog, appropriately titled “Dog,” earned him $500.
