That's ODD......

Welcome to Summer! The days are long, and the weather is HOT. The Gallery has plenty of exhibitions, events, and shows to keep you cool. Next up is "Oddity of the Artist" on June 15th. This show, put together by Gallery artists Betty Wilson and Linda Manganaro, is a new format for CGMSG. Throughout the summer we will be hosting "open call" art shows. In other words, we are opening the Gallery, during these specific shows, to local artists (Gallery members and NON-MEMBERS) of ALL MEDIUMS, not just 3-D. Oddity will feature over 30 Florida artists showing works that reflect the unusual--the "odd" in art. You won't want to miss this show of amazing works!!! Opening reception at 6:00 pm on the 15th. Food, music, fantastic art, what more can you ask for???? Mark your calendars!

 

 

Breaking News...

Two CGMS Gallery artists had a very exciting weekend recently. Gael and Howard Silverblatt, makers of fine gold cloisonne jewelry and small objects, won the $5,000 Best of Show Award at the 46th Annual Art Harvest Festival in Dunedin held Nov. 7-8. Over 250 artists were chosen to exhibit their art work and vie for the $27,500 in award money this year. The Judges were R. Andrew Maass, former Director of the Tampa Museum of Art, and Mark Ormond, current Curator of Exhibitions at the Ringling College Galleries at the Ringling College of Art & Design.

Congratulations to all! Below are images of new work by Gael and Howard. Be sure to come by the Gallery to see more of their amazing jewelry and meet these fantastic artists!
