Art show at Davis Family Y is all-inclusive

BOARDMAN

“I don’t know much about art, but ...”

You know when you see something you like.

That’s the concept behind the Davis Family YMCA’s “But I Know What I Like” art show, now on display through Nov. 22.

The show, which is in its third iteration and features 221 pieces from 90 local artists, was judged by three jurors who do not work in an art-related field.

The idea, said Suzanne Gray, art coordinator at the Davis Family YMCA, was to put together an inclusive show that celebrates art in all of its varied forms.

“Most juried art shows, you have to be accepted into the show,” she said. “Here at the Y, we’re all about inclusion, so everyone’s accepted.

“Some of the most-recognized names in the art community are here, and then some people that have never exhibited.”

The winner of the “best of show” prize, for example, is Dominic Lynn, a college student. He won the top prize for his charcoal depiction of James Dean.
