Exhibition Jurors:
Allie Wildridge, Roberts Gallery
Being the fourth generation Wildridge of the Roberts Gallery, along with her brother, Tom, Allie has had the pleasure of being surrounded by art for as long as she can remember. This year marks her 13th year in the business, not including spending weekends going to work with her father Paul while growing up. While not an artist herself, Allie is more on the administrative side of things, but loves to show her own creativity by being the curator of Roberts Gallery exhibitions, installing our current shows at the gallery and for major art fairs like Art Toronto.
