About 60 art pieces were submitted for the juried show and 17 pieces were selected for the exhibition by judge Barry Sakata who owns b.Sakata Garo Gallery located in downtown Sacramento.

Each year three pieces are awarded "best of show" and two pieces are purchased for the University Union's permanent collection.
