The Annual International Exhibition is organized by the UT Tyler Department of Art. Celebrating its 22nd anniversary, the exhibition has brought an accomplished and diverse range of artists, curators and writers to East Texas to act as jurors for this competition.

"With them has come an influx of the contemporary art from around the country and the world. Through purchase awards, the Department of Art has built a permanent collection from this body of work. This collection, now numbering more than 200 objects, is exhibited regularly and exists as a resource for the university's students as well as for the larger East Texas art community," said Ray Sikes, gallery coordinator.

Yarosz-Ash is a nationally recognized and award-winning artist, teacher and juror. She has shown in over 299 exhibitions and has received over 77 exhibition awards, of which 13 are Best of Show awards.

Her work has been reproduced in Splash I & II, American Artist, Watercolor, Artist's Magazine and Art, Lies and Dialogue. She has taught at Midwestern State University since 1981. In 1991 she was selected for the university's Hardin Professor Award, and has been a full professor since 1992.
