 7 Artists for 7 Weeks
Gallery Show
June 1 through July 18, 2008
White Salmon Valley Community Library, White Salmon, WA
Reception: Friday, June 13, 2008, 6pm
Music & Refreshments
Seven local artists will join artistic forces for a unique and diverse gallery show at the White Salmon Valley Community Library from June 1 through July 18, 2008. All of the artists are Columbia High School Seniors graduating this June. The public is cordially invited to meet the artists at the gallery reception on Friday, June 13, 2008, at 6:00 p.m. Music will be by 'The Tall Trees' with Desmond Fuller and Bart Plimmer. Refreshments will be provided.
Participating artists are Sera Stanton, Liz Reetz, Erin Holwegner, Nicole Dunn, Fanny Domijan, Amanda Wanner, and Robin Swanhuyser. Although each artist has refined their art for many years, the works featured in the show will be more recent--many completed this year. The seven artists will show works in a wide range of media from jewelry and renaissance costume design to silk-screen and illustration. Stanton, Reetz, Holwegner, Dunn and Domijan will show drawings and paintings including pen & ink, pencil, chalk pastels, oil pastels, water color, acrylic, oil paint, Prismacolor pencils, Prismacolor markers, graphite, and silk screen. Wanner will exhibit a renaissance gown inspired by Raphael’s painting, "Girl with a Unicorn," that she designed and constructed for her Senior Project. Swanhuyser will display one-of-a-kind jewelry in semi-precious stones, silver & beads.
When asked what inspired their art, responses included: the people around them--from great grandmothers to art teachers; ideas--from dreams to theology; and the world around them: from landscapes, to the abstract colors and lines in the natural world. Please join us to celebrate these very talented young artists as they finish up their high school careers and move on to the next exciting phase of their lives. For more information on this event or other library programs and services, call the library 509.493.1132 or visit the Fort Vancouver Regional Library website.
