The Blue Line Gallery consists of three gallery spaces: The Coker Family Main Gallery, The Eli and Edyth Broad Children's Gallery, and the WestPark Workshop Gallery.
Blue Line Gallery's Coker Family Gallery has over the years provided state-of-the-art exhibition opportunities for local, regional, national and international artists; lending organizations and guest curators.
One-time individual and group exhibits are selected by the Curator and an advisory committee through a proposal process or upon recommendation and evaluation. For more information, contact curator Elizabeth Rohlfes, 916.783.2317 or email.
Current annual exhibits include the Membership Show, the High School Student Show and the Open Show.
The Membership Show has celebrated all member artists every year for more than 30 years. A judge from the professional art community selects award winners for cash prizes and ribbons, and local businesses contribute cash and purchase awards.
The Annual Open Show is a juried competition that is advertised nationwide and draws hundreds of entries from the national art community. Notable jurors from the 30+ years of exhibits have included Scott Shields, Greg Kondos, Shirley Dubnick and Stephen Kaltenbach. Cash awards include the prized $1000 Best of Show and $500 Special Judge's Award.
The High School Student Show showcases the best work by students in area high schools and offers cash awards for artwork selected by a local art professional. Click here for more information.
