This popular annual juried art show, which is sponsored by the Waimea Arts Council, is open to current and new members of the Waimea Arts Council. Membership is open to all adults 18 and older. Exhibition dates for this show are October 2 – Nov. 29, 2020.
This year’s invited judges are Kathleen and Bill Jaeger. Both are award-winning professional artists and members of the Kailua Village Artists Gallery. Their work can be found on Facebook: Kathleen Jaeger, Artist.
Kathleen is an arts educator, and retired art therapist. She works mostly with acrylic paint, stained glass mosaic, pen and ink. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Phillips University and a Master of Science in Education from the University of Kansas. She spent her mainland career working within the public schools teaching art. Upon her retirement, she and her husband Bill moved to the Big Island.
Bill Jaeger learned the art of stained glass many years ago, while also working full time and earning a BS degree in electrical engineering from Wichita State University and a MBA from the University of Kansas. It was not until he and his wife Kathleen moved to the Big Island in 2004 that he immersed himself in the art. Since then, he has developed a style and skill evident in every piece he makes.
All art and fine craft will be accepted in this show. Cash awards will be determined by the number of entries. Non-refundable entry fee is $20 per entry. Due to space limitations at the Firehouse Gallery the maximum size for any entry is 36×36”. Artwork must be submitted at the Firehouse Gallery, 67-1201 Mamalahoa Hwy., Kamuela, HI between the hours of 11 am to 3 pm on Friday and Saturday, September 25 & 26, 2020.
