Blaine Art Gallery Western U.S. Artist Exhibition
Multi-state art exhibition featuring 100+ pieces from 29 Western U.S. artists with juried competition and monetary prizes.
The Blaine Art Gallery is showcasing a groundbreaking exhibition featuring over 100 pieces from 29 artists across the Western United States. This marks the gallery's first venture beyond local artists and their inaugural juried exhibition. The show displays diverse art forms including sculptures, paintings, jewelry, and mixed media, with all pieces available for sale ranging from $40 to $5,000. The exhibition opens with a public reception on Saturday, October 11 from 4-7 p.m., featuring refreshments and coinciding with the Second Saturday Downtown Art Walk. Seattle-area judges will award first and second place monetary prizes to winning artists. The exhibit runs from October 11 through mid-November at the gallery located at 922 Peace Portal Drive, open Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This initiative represents an expansion for the Blaine Arts Council, with potential for semi-annual larger exhibitions if successful. The opportunity demonstrates the gallery's commitment to promoting artists from across the western half of the country in this seaside border town setting.
