Guest curators for December are the three founding directors of Tria, the Suchman-Bart-Metheny Gallery in Chelsea, NYC. All three directors, Carol Suchman, Paige Bart and Latifa Metheny took time from their busy schedule to sit down together and review the art of barebrush. They remained true to their expectations for the December show, selecting especially work which expressed the sweeping emotions of the holidays. They were also very interested in unusual presentations and materials.

They had fun picking out the art for the many special days in December. They chose Randy Thurman's, Merry Christmas!!! for December 25th and Suhas Tavkar's Nude Angels for Christmas Eve. They chose Kaya's Dance for Kwanza on December 29th and two by Lucinda Luvaas, Flying over City and Judith and Holofernes for a two-day New Year's Eve. To launch the month of December, they decided on Flight from Earth by Joost Remeeus.

The artists represented are: Georgette Backs (28), Deborah Batt (22), Lenin Del Sol (23) Donelli J. DiMaria (19), Leon Nicholas Kalas (17, 18), Kaya (29), Lucinda Luvaas (9, 10, 30, 31), Jean Marcellino (2-4), Nudairist (20), Joost Remeeus (1), Ilene Skeen (5-8), Suhas Tavkar (24, 26, 27), Randy Thurman (14-16, 25), Haydee Torres (11-13), and Yukako (21).
