The Juror
We are pleased to welcome John T. Upchurch, a Chicago-based sculptor, as juror for the 2026 exhibition. Upchurch's work explores artifact, invention, and memory through wood, stone, metal, found objects, and salvaged materials. His work reflects an intuitive approach to craft, experimentation, and discovery.
