The Touch & Go: Texture & Movement exhibition guest juror, Libby Garon, considered many things (genre, medium, size, composition) in selecting the show.
Libby selected 50 pieces out of over 100 submissions. The show will take place in-person and hang in the Center for the Arts Evergreen gallery. The Exhibition team will also be creating an online, interactive catalog. This catalog will be available for a digital download.
Ms. Garon will select awards once the artwork has arrived, and prize money will be $250 Best in Show; $150 2nd place, $100 3rd place.
Bringing the Arts to Evergreen Since 1974
In 1974, a group of art enthusiasts forged a plan to provide mountain area residents with an avenue to pursue high-quality art instruction & view a wide variety of art. In 2003, the group leased a small building, & the organization was renamed Center for the Arts Evergreen (CAE) to signify its official venue status soon after. In 2017, CAE purchased & renovated the historic Bergen Park Church. The new space allowed for an 1,800-square foot exhibition gallery & the significant expansion of educational & community programming, including beginning- to advanced-level visual arts & crafts classes for all ages, creative writing courses, master workshops in various mediums, children’s summer camps, & a teen arts council. Engaging professional artists in multiple aspects, CAE commits to a high level of artistic excellence, hosting 8-9 exhibits yearly. Additionally, CAE hosts outdoor & gallery concert series’, offers indoor event/recital space, & produces three community-oriented free or low-cost arts festivals & celebrations annually. A curated artisanal gift shop in the center also provides exposure & revenue for local artists.
