The Brazos Valley community is rich with arts from painting to sculptures, and this winter community members can experience artwork from across the globe at Degallery with two international art contests. The arts contests will highlight both professional artists and children from a variety of countries and brings a wide range of mediums, Degallery owner and president Dary Dega says.
The third annual International Winter Art Exhibition will feature original 2D and 3D works including paintings, drawing, sculptures and original prints.
“Every year close to Christmas and Thanksgiving, we invite artists to participate and accomplish absolutely new and different projects,” Dary says. “This year, for our winter show artists are asked to submit artworks of various winter landscapes and other Christmas scenes.”
All of the artwork featured in the show was made by professional artists from over 75 countries, including some located right here in the Brazos Valley.
“These are artists from different countries, including Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and all other countries and also our local artists,” Dary says. “It will be a nice mix to see local, national, artists and international artists all in the one show.”
Kids can also have their work displayed at Degallery through the Happy DEGART 2022 International KIDS Art Exhibition and Contest featuring drawings in a variety of mediums with the theme of ‘The One I l Love’.
Both contests will be judged by the Visual Art Society of Bryan-College Station, which is composed of a wide variety of artists from the community. The nonprofit organization provides a space for artists of all levels to explore, develop, and market their creations and abilities. Prizes will be awarded for top winners in both contests and winners will be announced at the opening reception on November 17.
This is a special day for Dary and her family as it is a celebration of the opening of the the new Degallery building in 2020 as well as the 10th anniversary of the Dega family immigration to the United States.
“This is our little celebration for artists from around the world and little ones happening all at once,” Dary says. “After I opened the nonprofit organization and started to support kids and adults around the world, we need something nice for people around the world, so we organize these contests.”
Displays will run throughout the months of November and December and guests are invited to stop by to admire the artwork. The gallery will also be presented online at the Degallery website so people across the globe have access to the beautiful works of arts presented.
