This year’s Timothy Clayton Memorial Award, in its sixth year, was presented to Tyler Bray for painting. Each year, the award is given to the student whose work seems best to embody the spirit of the work of student T. J. Clayton, who was killed in an automobile accident in 2005.
The show was juried by Ryan Ward, an adjunct faculty member at Marywood University in Scranton, Pa. Ward was the co-founder and manager of Test Pattern Art Space from 2004 to 2007. He received his B.F.A. in studio art from Marywood University in 2006. He also studied painting at the SACI Program in Florence, Italy.
