Fifth Anniversary Art Exhibition at Fallbrook Library

FALLBROOK – Five years ago, the superb new building of the Fallbrook Library was dedicated; commemorating this anniversary is a new art exhibition, the 30th since the inception of this unusually successful art exhibition program. This program has been recognized as the best among the 33 branches of the San Diego County Libraries.

Opening on Jan. 10 with a reception on Jan. 15, the new show, "Five Years" is unusual in that it has both a display of paintings and other two-dimensional art in the community room, and a stone carving sculpture show in the garden patio.

The two-dimensional show features 10 of the best artists from previous exhibitions during the past five years. The intriguing and colorful display of oil and watercolor paintings, prints, collage and fiber art exemplifies the outstanding work of artists from Fallbrook and the region.

The viewer has an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with the work of these artists and to compare the results of the various techniques. The exhibition is curated by Larry Miller. The artists are Aida Corral, Rich Stergulz, Mike Steirnagle, Carol Zaleski, Noreen Ring, Kathy Morgan, Kathleen McCabe, Daniel Marquez, r. mike nichols, Robert Willis and Janice Cipriani Willis.

The sculpture show, which runs concurrently, was organized by Alec Conley. It is the first exhibition of stone carving in Fallbrook for many years. The setting is the beautiful back patio, the garden patio, which provides a perfect setting for sculpture. The artists are Allen Bryant, Alec Conley, David Thor and Dean Butterfield.

The reception on Jan. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. will honor the artists. Music will be provided by Richard Palcovic. The exhibit and reception are free and open to all. The show runs through Feb. 27.

The library is located at 124 S. Mission. Contact the library at www.sdcl.org or (760) 731-4653.
