Local artists are gearing up for the Suffolk Art League’s annual juried exhibition, to be held Nov. 7 to Dec. 23 at the Suffolk Museum.

This year’s juror is Jennifer Foley, who holds a doctorate degree in art history from Cornell University. Foley is the Paul Mellon statewide educator at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in art history from Brooklyn College, the City University of New York, and a master’s degree in art history, also from Cornell.

The show’s first-place award includes a $500 check and the opportunity to present a one-person show at the museum in 2011.
