FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 13, 2012

AUBURN, Wash. – January 13, 2012 – City of Auburn is proud to announce the full schedule of exhibits by professional and emerging artists from the Puget Sound area to be featured in various City of Auburn locations. The City of Auburn oversees two exhibit spaces that feature rotating exhibitions; City Hall and Cheryl Sallee Gallery Wall at Auburn Senior Center. Both locations showcase two-dimensional artwork that rotates on a regular basis. This year, the galleries will feature artists utilizing a broad range of mediums, styles and techniques.

Artists are selected by a selection panel consisting of Auburn Arts Commissioners, professional artists and community members. The selection panel aims to choose work that parallels Auburn Arts Commission’s mission to foster cultural growth and enrichment within the community. The selection panel honors variety, vitality, technique, and diversity in medium and subject. The result for 2012 is a wide-ranging lineup of work that is stimulating, thoughtful and encompasses both traditional and contemporary artistic values.

Auburn Galleries are presented by Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation. For additional information about the artists, to receive a Gallery brochure, or to learn about opportunities for artists please visit www.auburnwa.gov/arts or call 253-931-3043.
