Judging & Awards
Juror Kenneth Probst has been a member of the Chicago art community for over 40 years. He is also proud of his Hoosier heritage, having grown up in West Lafayette and graduating from Purdue University.
After 18 years in the advertising business, he opened Kenneth Probst Galleries downtown Chicago on Michigan Avenue and began a second career as an art dealer. He estimates that he sold well over a million dollars’ worth of Indiana Impressionism during his 20 year tenure at the gallery.
While in Chicago, he attended Northwestern University and studied painting under Derek Guthrie, art critic for the Chicago Tribune. In retirement, Mr. Probst continues with his love of painting, having shown in the Indiana Now 2013 competition as well as at other museum shows and venues throughout the Midwest. Previously, he was juror for the Indiana Heritage Arts annual exhibition in Brown County.
Work selected to be included in the exhibition will be based on review of the digital entries. Selection of award winners will be done by viewing the actual work.
