96th Annual Scarab Club Gold Medal Exhibition
Juror: Lester Johnson

In its 96th year, the Annual Gold Medal exhibition is a revered tradition here at the Scarab Club.  It’s the time of year when we dedicate our main gallery solely to the artistic talents of our Scarab Club members.  Although we wish we could display work from all members, just as we do for all exhibitions, this is a juried show.

This year we were fortunate to have Lester Johnson, Professor of Fine Art at the College for Creative Studies, as juror for the exhibition. The annual Gold Medal Exhibition holds special meaning since the awards presented to artists are given in memory of past members of the Scarab Club.

We are proud to announce the following 2009 Gold Medal Exhibition award recipients:
