ROSEVILLE, Calif., September 22, 2010 - Roseville Arts’ Blue Line Gallery presents the 2010 “Mask Invitational: An Inch to One Foot” with an opening reception on October 16.

Curated by Ray Gonzalez, Ron Peetz and Michelle Mahan, this 9th annual group invitational brings together the work of 29 Northern California artists representing all levels of skill and experience--from students and emerging as well as established artists--and a full range of artists’ media. Each piece ranges in size from one inch to one foot. The original exhibit was one of many introduced to the Sacramento region to complement the Lincoln “Feats of Clay” exhibition founded by Gonzalez some 20 years ago.

“The show always has surprises,“ said Gonzalez, who attributes the longevity of the invitational to “the endless opportunities artists see to make something new out of eyes, noses and mouths.”

The exhibit features work by regional artists Jim Albertson, Phil Amrhein, Debra Babyak, Stephanie Boggs, Teresa Chaney, Brad Cordell, Garon Curtis, Eric Dahlin, Virginia Dains, Olen Dillingham, Gary Dinnen, Linda S. Fitz Gibbon, Gabriel I. Gonzales, Ray Gonzales, Mark Gordon, Michelle Mahan, Gayle Martin, Vonnie McGinn, Miriam Morris, Tony Natsoulas, Ron Owens, Ron Paulat, Ronald Peetz, Doug Ratliff, Connie Spickelmier, Tawnia Starr-Contreras, Katri Uno, Victoria Wallace and Ken Waterstreet.
