Submissions for the 2018 Collective Visions Art Gallery show will be accepted through Friday, Nov. 19.

This ever popular exhibition, held annually in Bremerton and opening Jan. 20, 2018, is open to all Washington state artists, and offers $9,000 in cash prizes and purchase awards for select winners.

Jurors for the 2018 competition are Teresa Saia, Harry Longstreet and Paula Stokes.

Saia will select 2D work other than photography, having firmly established herself within the art community, demonstrating a sophistication of style, dynamic use of colors and a sensitivity to light.

A native of Washington, she has studied with leading artists throughout the U.S. and abroad. Her work encompasses the mediums of pastel, watercolor, printmaking and oil. She has a strong following in both private and corporate collections. Her work has received numerous national awards and she is an internationally recognized workshop instructor.

Longstreet, juror for photographic works, has twice won the Single Image Merit Award from Black and White Magazine, and has twice won the Single Image Merit Award from Color Magazine. He has had a number of one-man shows and his work has appeared in more than 200 national and international juried exhibitions.

In 2013, the Bainbridge Island resident was awarded the Gold Medal in the International Varna Salon; in 2014 he took the Mayor’s Award for Best in Show in the CVG competition and First Place (Photography) in the 2017 CVG competition.

Longstreet is looking, he said, for images that speak to the human condition and the world around him, favoring ambient light and unposed, unaware subjects.

Stokes, who will select 3D artwork for the show, has been a regular glass blowing instructor at Pratt Fine Arts Center in the Seattle Glass Blowing Studio. She has taught at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma and at the Pilchuck Glass School.

Stokes has been a guest teacher at Urban Glass in New York and at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland. In 2013, Stokes cofounded METHOD, an alternative exhibition space in Seattle that showcases experimental sculpture. She has participated in a number of group shows in the U.S., Ireland and China. Her work is in public and private collections, including the permanent collections of the National Museum of Ireland and the Irish Embassy Collections in Beijing and Brussels.
