While jurying remotely had its challenges, José Carlos Casado said the benefits outweighed the obstacles and it was especially heartening to “see what [the] new generation of artists is making today—something instructive for everyone—and how are they dealing with the pandemic.”

Before the pandemic, Casado was awarded a public art commission for New York City public school I.S. 429 in Queens for a new, permanent site-specific artwork, something he’s only now been able to resume work on. But he was energized by the “2020 Visions” task and “being part of their experience, and making [it] possible for alumni to show their work.”
