Bergen community art show planned to honor late designer Vickie Almquist's lifelong dream
A community art exhibition honoring late designer and artist Vickie Almquist will take place on Nov. 7 at the Sage Pavilion in Bergen. Almquist, a Bergen native who built a career in fashion and graphic design in New York City over nearly four decades, passed away in August 2025 after a battle with cancer. A committee of friends and local artists organized the show to fulfill her long-held dream of a local art exhibition. The open call invites artists of all ages and skill levels to submit up to three pieces, with an application deadline of Aug. 31.
