BREMERTON — Artists from across Washington can now submit entries to the 2017 CVG Show, a major statewide competitive art exhibition organized by Collective Visions Gallery in Bremerton and its lead sponsor, Kitsap Credit Union.
This show is one of the largest and most prestigious annual juried art shows in Washington, and has attracted top artists from all over the state.
The show will accept submissions in three categories: 2D media, 3D media, and Photo/Digital Arts.
Entry deadline is Nov. 20. The exhibition opens on Jan. 21 with a reception at the Admiral Theatre and continues at the Collective Visions Gallery until Feb. 25.
This year’s show will have two jurors:
— Ned Mueller, an accomplished and highly respected artist who has “Master Signature Artist” status with the Oil Painters of America. Mueller will jury all 2D and 3D submitted artworks to be included in the show, and will select the three prize winners in each of those categories.
— Johnny Walker, an independent photojournalist, commercial photographer, and owner of AC Frame and Fine Arts in Kingston. He will jury all the Photo/Digital submitted artworks, and will select the three prize winners in that category.
The two jurors will jointly select the Mayor’s Award of $1,500 for Best of Show, which could be from any of the three categories.
Additional awards include purchase prizes by several sponsors; the $1,000 Best of Kitsap Award, selected by the Cultural Arts Foundation Northwest for an artist residing in Kitsap County; and the People’s Choice Award, sponsored by the West Sound Arts Council and chosen by the vote of viewers throughout the duration of the show.
Artists may obtain an exhibition prospectus by visiting the websites www.CVGShow.com or www.OnlineJuriedShows.com.
The prospectus is also available at the Collective Visions Gallery, 331 Pacific Ave., Bremerton.
