Let’s Talk Judging for ALL MEDIA!!

“How Art Show Judging Works” with Trevor P. Jackson

Saturday, October 17, 2026

from 12-2pm

Crossland Gallery : 500 W. Paisano in DT El Paso

Free, Free Parking & Open to the Public

Join us for a talk by lens based artist Trevor P. Jackson about how artwork is judged for an exhibition. The talk will cover how art is initially sorted, and judging criteria typically used. Understanding this process can help artists improve their submission packages to future exhibitions. During the talk we will also review the works in the International Eye of the Camera (IEOTC) 2026 show to discuss what stood out in the photos that placed.

Agenda:

Artist’s background and artwork for context

Artwork judging process

Review of artworks in IEOTC 2026 : as judged by Trevor P. Jackson

Artist Bio:

Trevor P. Jackson is a fine art photographer based in Las Cruces, New Mexico. For over 20 years he has captured introspective compositions that reveal the stark beauty and intricate textures of natural terrains and desolate spaces. His work blends spontaneity with a striking aesthetic of contrasts, evoking awe and reverence for the planet’s fragile beauty. In 2025, he reinvented himself as a full-time artist after a 12-year career engineering optical instruments for NASA climate science satellites. Jackson uniquely combines technical precision with artistic vision, and this fusion of science and creativity produces photographs that both inspire and educate, reaffirming the profound connection between humanity and the natural world. He has exhibited work at galleries and museums across the U.S. including New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Virginia, Illinois, Vermont, and Oregon.

Please join us as this talk is valuable to all media artists.

Hope to see you there!

ZINE Making Workshop with Octavia “8via” Saenz

Saturday, September 12, 2026

From 1-3pm

Crossland Gallery : 500 West Paisano

Learn how to create and design your own “zine.” That’s short for “magazine.”

A “zine” is a small booklet or paper object published by a single person or a small group, with a circulation of usually fewer than 1000 copies.

These little “zines” pack a huge artistic & creative punch. “Zines” are most often homemade by artists or enthusiasts for the purpose of sharing art, niche skills, or information that could otherwise be suppressed.

Attendee will create their own personal mini “zine” booklet of photos, art, poem and/or stories. We’ll cover everything from the history of “zines,” choosing a format, to coming up with an idea for every page, different ways to fill pages, and how to make copies for distribution. And at the end of the workshop, you get to take home your “zines” and “zine” photocopies.

Materials will be provided; however, attendees are welcome to bring photos, poems, art and such to incorporate into their zine.

So, join us as we explore this fun and trending form of personal expression!

Refreshments and fun are on the agenda, so mark your calendars!!

See you there!
