Gallery North in Edmonds announces the opening of registration for its ninth annual invitational Beauty of the Northwest Show. This eagerly anticipated art exhibit will be on display from October 1-30. Last year’s exhibit featured the work of 45 artists. Gallery North invites artists to enter their paintings or drawings depicting scenes or subjects representing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Accepted artwork will be on display and available for sale at Gallery North during the month of October. Each artist may enter up to two pieces. Artwork will be juried for acceptance by a panel and the selected work will be juried for awards by this year’s guest juror Mike Wise.

Mike Wise is an award-winning artist who has exhibited his artwork in many national competitions. He is a signature member of the Oil Painters of America (OPA) and the American Impressionist Society (AIS). His work has been featured in several highly-regarded art publications. Mike grew up an outdoor enthusiast, surrounded by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.  He is best known for his rich landscapes, extraordinary coastlines, deserts and mountain ranges as we all the back roads and farmland of the American landscape.
