Artists United takes over Burien Arts Gallery in March
Tue, 02/23/2016
Artists United takes over the entire Burien Arts Gallery in March for the group’s Annual Juried Art Show. Normally, Artists United members display their work in one section of the gallery.
Since 1949, Artists United's mission has been to encourage individual artistic development and to bring art into the community. Artist United members work in a variety of styles and media, including watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, mixed media, photography, pottery, printmaking, glass and jewelry.
The Juried Show is comprised solely of Artist United members’ work. The Show is juried by Jacqui Beck, whose work may be viewed at www.jacquibeck.com.
Jacqui will also display one of her works at the show. Jacqui’s artwork is colorful and expressive. Working in acrylics and mixed media, she paints a wide variety of subject matter with a sense of depth and whimsy. She believes that art, like life, is an unfolding process of intention and accident. Jacqui’s award-winning acrylic paintings are collected and exhibited in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and New Zealand.
The artwork is juried for entry into the show and for awards. Meet the artists at the Opening Reception and Awards Presentation on Friday, March 4, from 5-8 p.m. Gallery visitors may vote for the People’s Choice award during the length of the show, March 2 - 26.
The Burien Arts Gallery, located at 826 S.W. 152nd St. in Olde Burien, is open Wednesday through Saturday, noon-6 p.m. The Gallery is closed Sunday through Tuesday.
