From Crystal Bridges' website: "The process for selection of artists to be included in 'State of the Art' has been developed by a national group of curators, collectors, and other experts in the field of contemporary art. From an initial list of 10,000 names, this group has narrowed the search to 1,000 artists whose studios Crystal Bridges President Don Bacigalupi and Assistant Curator Chad Alligood are visiting in person. Of these, some 100 artists will be selected for the exhibition."
