The event will be from 6pm to 9pm at the Gage Academy of Art in the Steele Gallery, throughout the school hallways, and in the studios.  There will be a special “Vernissage” (”a reception at a gallery for an artist whose show is about to open to the public”) from 5pm to 6pm with Fine Wine for $50, please “Contact Katie Mosehauer at 206-323-4243 x16 for details”.

 

Rock Hushka, Tacoma Art Museum, Curator of Contemporary and Northwest Art will be Guest juror.  There will 7 categories: Beginner, Abstract, Figure, Portrait, Landscape, Sculpture, Still Life, and “Best in Show“.  A “People’s Choice Award” will be voted on that evening by everyone attending.  The Award Ceremony will be at 7:30pm for the announcement of the winning Artwork.

 

This year will be the first time that some of the work will be offered for sale.  This will be a One-Night-Gallery opportunity to add some Original Art priced between $100 and $1,000 with 50% to help support Gage Academy.  Besides the student artwork submitted for the “Best of Gage“, there will be additional student artwork and instructor artwork on display through out the school, some of which will also be for sale.

 

Should be a fun evening, I’ll be there!
