Guild Hall's 84th Artist Members Exhibition opened Sunday in the museum's renovated galleries with some 300 artworks comprising a multitude of mediums and styles.

Virginia Lebermann, the co-founder and board president of Ballroom Marfa and the awards juror, selected Claire Watson's "Bye Gone" for the show's top honors prize. Like much of Ms. Watson's recent work, the piece is made from pattern parts of leather pants, leather remnants, thread, canvas, and gesso. The Water Mill artist will have a solo exhibition at a future date.

Ms. Lebermann awarded honorable mentions to Chris Siefert for his mixed-media "Rib"; Philippe Cheng for an untitled work made of sandpaper; Michael Butler for his painting "The Pepperidge Tree"; Isla T. Hansen for her mixed-media construction "Hand Tools (or Tools for No Masters)," and Mary Martha Lambert for her oil and charcoal composition "Revenant."

Robert Longo received a jurors special award for his graphite and charcoal "Untitled (After Cave Painting in Lascaux)."

The members exhibition and "Chart of the Inner Warp," a show of work by Mary Boochever, the 2019 top honors winner, will be on view through Jan. 8.
