JUROR: 
Dennis Kautsky Calabi, Gallery Director of the CALABI GALLERY located in Santa Rosa, California.  Dennis Calabi has been a conservator of paintings in private practice since 1970.  In 2009 he opened the Calabi Gallery to give exposure to artists he felt were significant yet had failed to achieve proper representation. The focus of the gallery is on west coast modernism of the post World War II era, but also shows antique and contemporary art. The unifying element of this diverse collection is that he needs to feel passionate about the work in order to show it.      https://calabigallery.com/
