TAG Gallery is presenting the eighth annual California Open Juried Exhibition August 14 through 30 at the gallery in Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave. The reception and awards ceremony will be on Saturday, August 17, from 5 to 8 p.m.
The nationwide competition recognizes excellence in a diverse range of styles and media and offers artists exposure at Bergamot Station Arts Center, Southern California’s largest art gallery complex and cultural center.
Interest in the California Open has been on the rise since TAG Gallery moved to its current location in 2009. Fifty-five art works were selected from more than 1,500 entries by juror Edward Goldman, art critic for KCRW and host of a weekly program “Art Talk.”
Before immigrating to the U.S. in 1977, Goldman worked at the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad. e has taught Russian art history at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and, in 2005, he taught seminar classes on art collecting at Otis College of Art and Design.
TAG was established in 1993 as a nonprofit corporation, owned by its members, who share in all business decisions, responsibilities and expenses. It is both a physical gallery and a community of approximately 40 artists. Contact: www.taggallery.net.
