Roseville Arts to Receive a $40,000 Grant from the James Irvine Foundation
Funding to Support Broadening and Diversification of Audiences
Roseville Arts will receive $40,000 over two years in support of a comprehensive marketing campaign to broaden and diversify current and new audiences in the Sacramento Valley. The funding is to be provided by the James Irvine Foundation’s “New Connections Fund”.
Roseville Arts executive director Barbara Dolder stated, “This generous funding from the James Irvine Foundation could not have come at a better time in Roseville Arts 40+ year history. Since March of 2005, we have been without a home base arts facility while our new facility, The Blue Line Gallery, has been under construction. Fortunately, during this time our administrative services have continued, thanks to a generous commitment by NEC Electronics America who provided office space. Exhibitions were held throughout the region under the title ‘Roseville Arts @...’ while off-site special events and on-line activities continued. However, as focus was diverted to a capital campaign and extensive strategic planning for future programming, programs and services once provided by a vibrant Roseville Arts Center were for the most part, absent. All that is about to change as we move into the new facility and launch programs that will be bolstered by the marketing campaign. Visitors to downtown Roseville will see immediate results from this funding. Beginning in January, 2008 bright blue and white banners will line Vernon Street heralding the grand opening of the Blue Line Gallery and the exhibition, “Art and Illusion” selections from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. And that’s just the start of the two-year plan!”
The James Irvine Foundation is a private, nonprofit grantmaking foundation dedicated to expanding opportunity for the people of California to participate in a vibrant, successful and inclusive society. The Foundation’s grantmaking is organized around three program areas: Arts, Youth and California Perspectives, which focuses on improving decision making on significant state issues. Since 1937 the Foundation has provided over $1 billion in grants to more than 3,000 nonprofit organizations throughout California. With current assets of over $1.8 billion, the Foundation expects to make grants of $75 million in 2007 for the people of California.

WHAT: Grand Opening of Blue Line Gallery
WHEN: Saturday, February 2, 2008, 12:00–8:00 p.m.
WHERE: 405 Vernon Street , Roseville, California
Blue Line Gallery to Open with Blockbuster Exhibition
February 2008 Grand Opening Announced
Roseville Arts has announced that it will celebrate the Grand Opening of its new Blue Line Gallery in February 2008 with an exhibition of contemporary art from the acclaimed collection of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation.
The Gallery will open its doors to the public for the first time on February 2, 2008, from noon until 8 p.m., with its Grand Opening Exhibition, "Art and Illusion: Selections from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation."
Such a significant selection of contemporary art has never before been seen in Roseville. Including painting, photography and sculpture, the eclectic exhibition curated by Billie Milam Weisman celebrates artists’ use of illusion and humor to create new ways of looking at the world.
Contemporary art itself is often concerned with perception over representation, with how various modalities—physical, psychological, social, and so forth—not only frame but also modify the perceptual experience. The “Art and Illusion” selection reveals an emphasis on vibrant contemporary works with immediate visual impact and a frequent focus on illusionism.
Over forty American and international artists are represented in the exhibit, including such internationally acclaimed artists as Andy Warhol, Charles Bell, Red Grooms and Masaaki Sato. "Art and Illusion” is made available to our community through funding provided by the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation.
The Blue Line Gallery—frontispiece to Roseville’s new parking structure on Vernon Street and vanguard in the City’s downtown revitalization efforts—is in final construction mode as it prepares for the February opening. The gallery serves as the new permanent home for Roseville Arts, the result of ongoing collaboration with the City; Herculean investment by private, individual and business donors; and creative commitment by volunteers and staff.

Roseville Arts’ “Building the Future” a Big Hit!
On Saturday, June 16, Roseville Arts celebrated the start of construction of its new home—the Blue Line Gallery to be located on the ground floor of the City of Roseville’s Vernon Street parking structure. “Building the Future”—a “kick-back”, construction-themed event—took place in the Roseville Civic Center Plaza and Rotunda under perfect weather conditions. Taking place mainly outdoors, the crowd enjoyed music, food, beverages, an upscale raffle, a silent auction, tours of the under-construction Blue Line Gallery, and the exhibition “Online with the Blue Line” held in the Civic Center Rotunda.
During announcements, Diane Williams, chair of the event, welcomed attendees and thanked the many sponsors who made the evening possible. Aldo Pineschi, “Keep Art in our Future” capital campaign chair, thanked the donors for their support and updated the community on the campaign progress.
A special presentation was made by Mrs. Melena A. Ose to June Wanish, recipient of the “Make it Happen! Award”. The award is intended to honor a local leader in the arts community who, through creativity, passion and dedication, has expanded community participation in the arts, and taken a nonprofit organization to a higher level. Mrs. Ose presented a check for $15,000 to Mrs. Wanish who responded that the funds would be placed in the Roseville Arts’ “ June Wanish Endowment for the Arts” designed to help ensure the future of the arts in Roseville. The award is made possible through the Enlow & Melena A. Ose Endowment for the Arts of the Sacramento Region Community Foundation.
Jim Williams, Williams + Paddon, architects for the Blue Line Gallery, served as emcee for the evening, and completed the announcements by presenting a brief history of Roseville Arts—past, present, and future.
The evening was capped off with announcements of winning silent auction bids, three artfully designed hard hats by artists Tony Natsoulas, Margot Comer, and Karen Fulk; the raffle prize drawing; and finally the winner of the grand prize—a wine refrigerator, fully stocked with premium wines. Ironically, the winner of the wine refrigerator—Tom Millward, Mayor of Loomis—was the very first to purchase a raffle ticket from chairperson, Diane Williams during the spring “Cap-to-Cap” trip to Washington DC.

Online Resource Connects Community to Regional Artists
Business and art communities already applauding this new Directory of Artists
Roseville Arts’ new online Directory of Artists provides a welcome resource for businesses and community to connect directly to regional artists for exhibit and purchase options.
The new internet tool has already proved useful to one local business, a leading semiconductor provider. "NEC Electronics America will continue to use this directory as a resource for artwork to enhance our manufacturing facility in Roseville," said Gail Reinke, senior manager, site administration, manufacturing operations, NEC Electronics America, Inc. "Our employees, customers and international visitors enjoy the art we have featured, and I highly recommend the directory to businesses who want to showcase the extraordinary work of our regional artists."
Viewable at www.rosevillearts.org, the Directory of Artists currently features over 200 selections of artwork by more than 40 artists, with artists signing up daily as they recognize the quality and potential of this new resource. “We have already gotten compliments on the Artist Directory from our friends in Austria, Switzerland and Wisconsin,” wrote acclaimed artists James Hirschinger and Imi Lehmbrock-Hirschinger, who endorse the Directory as a high quality community resource.
Associated with the much anticipated Blue Line Gallery in downtown Roseville, the Directory was developed by a committee of artists and staff at Roseville Arts to address multiple needs in fast-growing South Placer communities. Businesses and private collectors will use the Directory to find regional artists for their display needs. Artists will benefit through increased exposure and sale of their fine art. And communities will flourish with more art in their environments.
Complete information on the Directory is available at www.rosevillearts.org/directory. Questions may be directed to 916-783-4117 or roseart@surewest.net.

Description of Homes & Gardens:
#1 Come to a Garden Party:
What a perfect place to enjoy an outdoor party, and the owners welcome you to their mature (20 year old) garden. The mastermind behind this serene setting is the homeowner himself. Among many of his projects are a bonsai table and several water features both in the back and front of the house. You are encouraged to look into the greenhouse for orchids and more sensitive plants. And while there are many Asian features, there is also a traditional English rose garden, complete with the requisite four quadrants. The pond in the front yard reminds one of a Monet scene, and, for a whimsical touch, don’t miss the “face in the tree” in the backyard.
#2 How to Lure a City Boy to the Country
Both home and garden were designed by the homeowner to entice her husband out of the city! The backyard is set along equestrian trails with mature oaks. It features a putting green and horseshoe pit next to a Koi pond complete with a signed Leonardo Rossi sculpture of a young man fishing and “the fish that got away” water feature. The gazebo overlooks a waterfall that flows into a rock bottom swimming pool. Follow stepping stones past a fire pit and a 150 year old buckboard wagon. The outdoor kitchen, patio area and sound system hidden within the landscaping make this the perfect place to keep the city boy in the country!
#3 Creativity in Every Room
There are many aspects in this home that bear the stamp of the owner’s handiwork, including the dragonfly table in the dining room, the faux painting on the walls in several rooms, the chest in the master bedroom and the painting of her uncle upstairs. She also made the stencil, did the wall painting and sewed the draperies in the charming guest room upstairs. There are several Russian touches in the house—three paintings downstairs (the surrealistic ones) and the stunning vase on a shelf in the den upstairs. The chest in the living room is from Tibet and the one in the dining room is an antique, with an Asian origin. For a creative idea, note how Christmas ornaments enliven the chandelier in the kitchen.
#4 Life with an Artist
Walk down the driveway surrounded by a vineyard, toward the courtyard filled with lavender and climbing roses and to a fountain with geese statuary. Entering, you will look through the house, over the infinity-edged pool at a view of the lake. To the right is an art gallery hallway with pieces by Joe Strickland, Mya Louw, David Wiley and others. Notice a “Beaded Lady” at the base of the stairs and an original Mendocino watercolor by John Zacha. Upstairs in the art studio are original paintings by the owner. Returning through the great room, you’ll see a triptych by Vicki Asp which was specially painted for the home. As you exit the gourmet kitchen under a white wisteria-covered trellis, enjoy the Provence themed landscape.
#5 The Ultimate Horse Property
A large metal rearing horse in front announces that this is a special place. The owners designed and helped build this beautiful Santa Fe inspired home. Right away you’ll see a special design in the tiled floor of the entrance. Note the kiva fireplaces, the unusual shower in the master bathroom and the lovely “gallery” room with paintings by Mya Louw and Linda Green. Anyone would be inspired to cook in this wonderful kitchen. There is an “in-law suite” with living room incorporated into the home. Don’t miss the swinging beds in the girls’ rooms or the zip line that is often put to good use in the private lake.
Participating Artists:
Cathie Andrews, Diane Ruhkala Bell, Sarah Croft, Eve Dorf, Virginia Edwards, Michele Feinberg, Ursula Johnson, Felicia Lamb, Mya Louw, Deanna Marsh, Anje Olmstead, Anna Rolin, Lynn Scholl, Joan Sexton, Carol Smyth, Judi Stickney, and Diane Tharp

In a ceremony that took place in front of the construction site, MV’s founder, Alex Lodde presented the donation to Roseville Arts’ Capital Campaign Cabinet Chair, Aldo Pineschi and Roseville Arts’ Executive Director, Barbara Dolder. Taking part in the ceremony were Roseville City Manager, Craig Robinson; “Keep Art in our Future” campaign cabinet members and Roseville City Council Members Gina Garbolino and John Allard; and MV Transportation executives Jay Jeter, Rich Frost, and Phil Garth.
