Blue Line entertains a crowd on 3rd Saturday
Photo Show Winners Announced
ROSEVILLE, CA, January 18, 2011 — More than 300 visitors gathered at the Blue Line Gallery on Saturday to celebrate the openings of three new exhibits and to hear who won the awards in the gallery’s 2011 Open Photography Exhibition.
Juror Lewis Kemper left regrets for not being able to meet all the “talented photographers whose work was accepted” into the Photography Exhibition, but curator Beth Rohlfes passed along Kemper’ “congratulations to all the winners and to all of those who made this the highest quality show I have ever had the privilege of judging!” Tim Fleming of Petaluma accepted the $300 Best of Show award for his enlarged color photo of leaves and sea pods in “Lanterns #3.” Merit awards went to Roseville’s John Johnson; Bob Towery from Granite Bay; Bob Perrin, Auburn; Jim Klein, Citrus Heights; David Robertson, Davis; and Richard Ashby of Sacramento.
Saturday’s visitors lingered long to enjoy the relaxed strains of blues band, Breez, share in enlightened conversation and learn from artist demonstrations by Maliheh Bartolomeo and Debbie Gualco, exhibitors in the “New Beginnings” show. Guests Bob and Penny Cooley were pleasantly surprised to encounter the fine work from Cooley Middle School students in the Children’s Gallery. All three exhibits will continue in the gallery through February 12.
