“Structure” National Juried Exhibition

Description: “One cannot help but be in awe when [one] contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.” – Albert Einstein

We are seeking works of art that address the concept of "structure" in all its forms.  Structure can define vision and expression within political, religious and technological boundaries. How do you express the structure and thus the inherent meaning in your art?

Interpretations both representational and abstract may include, but are not limited to imagination, fabrication, process, format, framework, or organization.  Subjects may encompass anatomy, architecture, form, object, concept, motif, texture, etc.

Juror: James Bacchi of Arthaus Gallery, San Francisco, CA

Juror’s Award:  Juror’s Award ribbon and certificate awarded to three works that express the most imaginative interpretation of “Structure”

Eligibility:  Artists residing in the continental United States

Open Juried Show

The Open Show at the Maritime Museum in Gig Harbor will open on the 30th of August. So many great art works in one place from around the country. To get a preview of art works accepted in the show, go to "OnLineJuriedShows" then "closed shows" then "Open Juried Show, Peninsula Art League". The Open Show will be Juried by Joe Garcia, a well known wildlife artist. Check it out!

  Lots of opportunities have been promoted this last year. We have had many demos from artists around the area. We had a demo/lecture about how to use social media to promote our art.
  Our up-coming Gig Harbor Summer Art Festival is nearly here. All our accepted Artists are busy preparing, adding new pieces of art to their collection of art for sale. We are also coming up on the Member's Show at the Key Bank. Keep checking, and post some of your own. More to follow.
