CARRIE GOLLER IN STATE-WIDE CVG SHOW ART COMPETITION
Carrie Goller's Storm Looming oil, has been chosen for participation in the 2015 CVG Show in Bremerton's Collective Visions Gallery.
This annual art show is one of the largest juried art competitions in the Northwest. Over 270 artists from 70 Washington cities submitted nearly 800 artworks for consideration. Of these, only 130 pieces were selected for inclusion in the show. Greg Robinson, Executive Director and Curator of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, is slated as guest juror for this year's event. Prize awards totaling $7,500 will go to 11 artists in multiple categories. Additional prizes include a $2,000 purchase award by the Kitsap County Arts Board, a $300 People's Choice Award and a $1,000 Best of Kitsap Award sponsored by the Cultural Arts Foundation Northwest.
Representing Carrie in the competition is the charming 24x24" oil on canvas painting entitled "Storm Looming." Ominous clouds fill the sky over a field of grazing sheep. The dark but rich colors that make up the angry storm are painted with a subtle softness, much like the gentle woolen souls oblivious to anything but nibbling. Noted for her diversity in use of medium, technique, and subject matter, Carrie has produced artwork for collectors from around the world and in 2014 opened Carrie Goller Gallery.
The 2015 CVG Show will be open to the public January 24, 2015, 1-5pm. The exhibit continues through Saturday, February 28. The Collective Visions Gallery is open Wednesday - Saturday, 10-5pm, and Sunday 12-4pm, and is located in Bremerton, Washington at 331 Pacific Avenue.
