The Best In Show Overall award includes a $1000 prize, with additional cash prizes for category and sponsored awards. The Ellarslie Open has become the region’s leading annual juried exhibition since its inception in the early 1980s.

The 2025 exhibition will open with a reception on Saturday, June 21, and run through September 7. Programs related to the exhibition will be announced later. Fisher, the 2025 juror, developed her interest in contemporary art while studying Art History and Business at New York University.

Fisher holds a certificate in Appraisal Studies in Fine and Decorative Arts from NYU and the Appraisers Association of America.
