Our very own Mary Long-Postal was considered by the selection committee for the 2010 Whitney Biennial Exhibition.   The exhibition is generally regarded as one of the leading shows in the art world for showcasing new trends in contemporary art.  We are so proud of Mary for the incredible work that led to her consideration among the top contemporary artists in the country!
