Rhinelander, WI

I was honored to be this year's judge for the 39th Annual Northern National Art Competition, which takes place on the beautiful campus of Nicolet College in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Out of 600+ entries, my job was to select 100 for a formal exhibition then visit the site to give a lecture and choose some awards. Lucky me! The organizers were impeccable, and the setting was spectacular.
