Satellite Gallery announces the Crossing the Blues Invitational Art Exhibition, opening August 22, 2008, and running through September 12. Doug Kaigler and Tom Dimond, well known regional artists and EOU art professors, are curators of the show. They have invited 24 Union County artists to participate in what they hope will become an annual exhibition that showcases the exceptional talent of artists living and working in the area.

The exhibit includes an eclectic combination of artistic styles and media, including photography, printmaking, bronze sculpture, ceramics, blown and fused glass, painting and mixed media. Artists represented have won numerous awards and participated in a wide range of juried fixed and touring exhibitions. The opening reception, Friday, August 22, from 6 to 9 p.m., is an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of art styles and to meet many of the artists.

The show opening is held in conjunction with Crossing the Blues La Grande Summer Festival, taking place August 22 & 23 in downtown La Grande. Several other downtown shops and galleries will also extend the Third Thursday Art Walk on August 21 to Friday evening to help kick off Crossing the Blues.
