artinmateJune 1: Art and the Inmate
A Presentation by Jim Carlson

6:30-8:00pm

Jim Carlson, art instructor at California State Prison-Sacramento (New Folsom), will share his experience teaching the arts to inmates. Carlson is an art educator who has taught in California State Prisons for 25 years. He will share his experience working with inmates, supported by video interviews and examples of inmate poetry, music and visual art. Carlson will explore not only the realities of the inmate's personal journeys and prison culture, but also the remarkable qualities of redemption and rehabilitation they have gained through their exposure to the arts.

"Jim can show gripping examples of how the arts can reclaim lives," said Beth Rohlfes, Curator at the Blue Line Gallery. "There is so much to learn in this about the value of the arts in our prisons as well as in our broader communities."   

$10 admission for general public to support Roseville Arts programs. 
FREE admission for Roseville Arts members.

memshowJune 19: Juried Membership Show

Opening Reception 6:30-9pm
Awards Presentation at 7:30



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."
