Juried show at The Blue Line Gallery

50 Members Featured

ROSEVILLE, Calif., May 25, 2010—Roseville Arts’ Juried Membership Show opens at the Blue Line Gallery on June 19, featuring the work of 50 artists selected by jurors Pamela Skinner and Gwenna Howard.

A variety of 2- and 3-dimensional media will be represented in the exhibit, including works in photography, painting, mixed media and metals. The featured artists come from as far away as South Lake Tahoe, Davis and El Dorado Hills and will all be considered for $1000 in cash awards. While awards are not new to Roseville Arts’ previous 37 annual membership shows, this is the first time members’ work has had to be juried into the annual exhibit.  

“We were very honored to be chosen as the jurors for your first juried membership show,” said Pamela Skinner, who with Gwenna Howard owns and manages the Pamela Skinner/Gwenna Howard/Contemporary Art Gallery in Sacramento.  “We concentrated on the image in front of us and approached the judging very methodically.  We looked very closely at what we thought the artist tried to accomplish and how successful they were in this effort.”  

The exhibit opens June 19 with an artists’ reception, 6:30 - 9:00 p.m., and will continue in the gallery through August 14, 2010. Awards will be announced at 7:30pm during the opening reception.
