The show received entries from many artists all over Fairfax County, VAS members and non-members alike, and was judged by Marion van Landingham, one of the founders of the Torpedo Factory. The event was chaired by Donna Garone, Teresa Ahmad (Art Center Director), and Tara Holtaway (VAS Vice President). Invaluable direction and assistance was provided by Dore Skidmore and Debi Elliott, who offered their experience and advice along the way.
