Each year Collective Visions Gallery in Bremerton, Washington, invites artists to participate
in an annual statewide juried art competition and exhibition, The CVG Show.
Many community businesses and
organizations join with Collective Visions to recognize and award substantial prizes
to these fine artists. From over 800
submissions, juror Greg Robinson, Executive Director and Curator of
the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, chose 126 entries to compete and exhibit. Six of these artists are represented by The Island Gallery, including the 1st Prize Winner for 2 Dimensional Art, Irene Yesley of Bainbridge Island:

Mr. Robinson spoke at the reception
and awards event on Saturday, January 24, held at the historic Admiral Theater
in Bremerton. In his lecture he explained the jury process and eloquently highlighted the many artist-participants whose work moved him, going beyond the actual winners of the competition.
This made for not only an educational evening but quite a heartwarming event, as Mr. Robinson demonstrated the extent to which artists and their art are
encouraged and recognized throughout our State.
The exhibition itself is well curated and
a must-see show. For an afternoon well spent, visit Collective Visions Gallery, 331 Pacific Avenue, Bremerton, Washington, on the corner of 4th and Pacific (1.360.377.8327). Through February 28th.
