Awards Announced at Coos Art Museum’s 25th Annual Maritime Art Exhibition

Three artists have been awarded top honors at Coos Art Museum’s 25^th Annual Maritime Art Exhibition.

“Best of Show” was awarded to Micaiah Hardison of Vista, California for his oil, “Surf Lesson”

and in a vote by the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, Judi Betts of Baton Rouge, Louisiana for her watercolor, “Harbor Town.”

Robert Tandecki of Sumner, Washington received the “Directors’ Award” for his work, “Ebey's Landing.”  The “Directors’ Award” is selected through a vote by the Coos Art Museum Board of Directors.

 The “Best of Show” juror and featured artist of the 25^th Annual Maritime Art Exhibition is Jeffrey Hull of Canon Beach, Oregon. Hull has been exhibiting at Coos Art Museum’s Annual Maritime Art Exhibitions since 2000. He has won numerous awards at these group exhibitions including most recently, People’s Choice awards in 2017 and 2015. Known for his ability to capture the beauty and moods of the places where water joins land, Hull controls the difficult medium of watercolor. In 2008 he was profiled on Oregon Art Beat. Hull is a Signature Member of the American Society of Maritime Artists.

 This year’s “Peoples’ Choice Award” is yet to be determined. Visitors to the Museum will be able to vote for their favorite work through Labor Day, September, 8 at which time this important honor will be given to the work with the most votes. The 25^th Annual Maritime Art Exhibition continues at Coos Art Museum until September 29.

Pete often says "I like to make things" and he brought along many examples of his geometric creations. His seascapes are on the wall to the right.

At the Chetco Community Public Library you can see examples of the work of some of the artists who will participate in the Festival of Art in Stout Park - coming up soon on August 4 & 5. More photos of Festival of Art  vendors' work.

The Chetco Community Public Library has a new director - Julie Retherford. A welcome reception for Retherford was held in the large meeting room where local artists are currently showing work with a Brookings theme - photos of the Bookings art was included in the July After-Art-Walk Report.

Lynette McPhearson was in charge of the "great big teeny-tiny art show and silent auction" - a benefit for the Brookings Harbor Community Theatre remodel project in their new location.

Nearly 200 teeny tiny works of art were auctioned at a show held at Wright's. 

At a reception during the July Art Walk the tiny art was accompanied by tiny treats.

Tiny awards were given in several categories. Nola Range received the "Queen's Choice" award for a 3"x3" painting of Whaleshead(chosen by Azalea Festival Queen Abbi Farmer).

Thanks to all the Art Walk Venues, Artists and Musicians for a great July Art Walk!

New Work by Pete Chasar at Manley Art Center

From a career in advertising to retiring in Brookings, Pete; like many retirees, returned to his passion of making art.  His style derives from his thoughts of nature and the work of Buckminster Fuller. As he has expressed, “I LIKE TO MAKE THINGS’, his current work embodies ideas and images that come from these interests.  Come share with him common ground that you see in his work.
