This summer the Bowers Museum and the historic California Art Club are partnering to exhibit the 111th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition, and the exhibition will end August 21. Throughout the last century, the Annual Gold Medal Exhibition has gained an enduring reputation as one of the country’s premier events showcasing Contemporary-Traditional fine art. For the first time, this year’s Gold Medal Exhibition is unveiled at the Bowers. The expansive showcase of more than 200 paintings and sculptures is selected from several hundred entries submitted by current qualified California Art Club members for review by a panel of art experts and leading artists. The final collection spotlights today’s most exemplary works by both renowned and up-and-coming artists. The Gold Medal Exhibition is un-themed and fashioned after the European art salons of the 19th century, for which artists submitted their finest works for jury review. Similarly, the Gold Medal Exhibition has a history of encouraging artists to take artistic risks in creating what they consider to be their most important works, which typically range from environmental preservation to social interests and cultural perspectives.
Another popular exhibit at Bowers “Everest: Ascent to Glory” will also end soon (August 28.) This exhibit combines photographs, films, and artifacts from five expeditions leading up to and including the earliest successful attempt to climb the colossal mountain that the Tibetan people call the “Mother Goddess of the World.” This exciting exhibition features more than 30 original objects and 60 stunning photographs of Everest’s illustrious history.

寳爾博物館和歷史悠久的加州藝術俱樂部合作舉辦第 111 屆年度金獎展覽, 畫作精彩枚不勝收。在整個上個世紀，年度金獎展覽作為展示當代-傳統美術的全國首屈一指的活動之一，贏得了持久的聲譽。今年的金牌展首次在寳爾舉行。 200 多件繪畫和雕塑的廣泛展示是從目前合格的加州藝術俱樂部成員提交的數百件參賽作品中挑選出來的，最後的系列聚焦了當今最著名和嶄露頭角的藝術家最具代表性的作品。金獎展不設主題，仿照 19 世紀的歐洲藝術沙龍，藝術家們將他們最好的作品提交給評審團評審。同樣，金獎展覽也有鼓勵藝術家冒險創作他們認為最重要的作品的歷史，這些作品通常從環境保護到社會利益和文化視角。
