Juror: José Camacho, award winning artist

José Camacho was born and raised in Puerto Rico. He attended the University Sagrado Corazón and the Art League in his home country and, after moving to New Jersey at age 19, enrolled at Montclair State University from which he received a BA degree. He studied painting and drawing with Miriam Beerman, Carmen Cicero and philosophies of art with Jonathan Silver. While in college, Mr. Camacho assisted Puerto Rican artist, Antonio Martorell, at the installation of La Casa de Todos Nosotros at El Museo del Barrio, and also at the installation of El Zócalo del Silencio at the University of Puerto Rico. Mr. Camacho is the recipient of various awards including a Residency Fellowship at the Rutgers Center for Innovative Print and Paper in 2006, and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowship in 2008. His work has been included in many exhibitions in museums as well as private galleries and is in numerous private art collections.
