"It was an honor to be a juror for this exhibition,” said Christine Cassano, juror for 3D, adding, she appreciated the broad range of art mediums the students are exploring. “During this particularly challenging time in our history, I think that an online platform to view the artwork is not only essential, but will likely set precedence for future ways we are all able to experience art in the digital age."
