ABOUT COLLECTIVE VISIONS GALLERY & THE CVG SHOW
Collective Visions Gallery, CVG, is the largest commercial art gallery in Kitsap County, and at 30 years, the oldest gallery in Bremerton. CVG is an association of West Sound Professional Artists working together to encourage a passion for the visual arts through a program of art sales, exhibits, lectures, concerts, and other art-related events designed to connect the gallery to the community. Among these events is Bricolage, the Bremerton High School Art Show; Ars Poetica, in which gallery members collaborate with area poets; participation in Wayzgoose, a downtown Bremerton art fair in September; the Westsound Printmakers Show; and the annual CVG Show.
The largest and most important of these events is the CVG Show, an annual juried art exhibition for Washington and Oregon residents. The CVG Show has grown to become one of the largest and most competitive juried art shows in the Pacific Northwest region. Every year, this prestigious local art event attracts numerous artists and a large audience of viewers from the across the state. The 2025 CVG Show was wonderfully successful. Many artworks were submitted for consideration by artists from all over Oregon and Washington. From these submissions, our jurors chose 138 pieces of art to display in the show in our gallery in the Arts District of Bremerton. Over $12,000 in cash and purchase prizes was awarded to participating artists. The gallery hosts the show for about 6 weeks each late winter and we get significant numbers of art lovers coming from some distance to view the show.
The Nineteenth Annual (2026) CVG Show will take place at the gallery from January 17 to February 27, 2026.
The CVG Show is not self-supporting. We rely on our sponsors to provide funds for all the prizes, jurors’ fees, and gallery rental during the show. Nearly all the organization and preparation for the show is done by our committee and gallery members; only a few tasks are contracted out to outside workers.
