Thirty eight pieces of art will be showcased from 16 artists, according to CCAC President Carol Cillo.
From mixed medias, pastels, painting, drawing, scratchboard and fiber jewelry, there's a wide range of styles for attendees to enjoy.
Artists taking part in the gallery include: Ron Beach, Joe Bitner, Sandy Considine, Amy Edwards, Christina Englert, Chuck Fong, Susan Nicholas Gephart, Lynn Kibbe, Jeff Mathison, Anni Matsick, Tom Mickle, Debra Moffitt, Janet Sherman, Jennifer Shuey, Theresa Crowley Spitler and Jackie Thomas.
The sponsor for this event is the Wealth Factory and Lauren McDonald.
"Lauren chooses the Sponsor's Award herself, and loves to be engaged with the arts community this way. We are fortunate to have talented and generous individuals support the Station Gallery," Cillo said.
Cillo is encouraging everyone to come to the opening Friday night to meet the artists and be around for the announcement of award winners from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The judge for this exhibit is educator/fine artist Jim Bright.
Below is an artist's statement by Bright:
"The study of plants, animals, and people has filled my sketchbooks and studio shelves for many years. I continue to be amazed and surprised by nature. In spite of my continued fascination with and enjoyment of nature's wonders, I have never been very interested in making "sculptural likenesses." I have emphasized, cropped, simplified, distorted, and otherwise altered the subjects, choosing to interpret rather than report. My finished works are often influenced as much by process as by subject matter. It is this process of sculpting, and the evolving, emerging form that is so exciting for me. Exploring the mass and space from every angle, I do not think about the piece definitively as I am working -- it seems to develop out of itself. Many of my current works explore organic subjects that are found in some interaction with architectural forms, providing an invitation to the viewer to comment on their relationship."
