Jurors of Selection and Awards

 

Kelly Kuhn, director and co-owner of Blue Gallery, Kansas City, Missouri, studied art history at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.  After working eight years as an art consultant, developing relationships with artists and collectors, she made the decision to open an art gallery that largely supported local and regional artists.  "My favorite subject-matter, as a collector, has always been the nude.  Sometimes I wonder if I should consciously collect other subject-matter to diversify a little, but then I end up buying yet another nude.  It amazes me how the same human form (male or female) can be rendered so differently."

 

David Kuhn, co-owner of Blue Gallery and owner of Kuhn & Company, a creative resource company, received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1988. 

 

Rebecca Wilkinson is a resident artist in the Hobbs Building and the curator for The Grand Nude Show.  She taught art for 23 years in international and American public schools before coming to Kansas City three years ago to paint full-time.  Her own work is mostly representative, but as curator of the Grand Nude Show, she wishes to include a wide range of outstanding work in a variety of styles and media.
