Laura Kamian McDermott’s epic tapestry took four years to weave during Covid. Self-Portrait With Wallpaper was selected for the Crocker Kingsley 2025 exhibition at Blue Line Arts in Roseville. There will be an opening reception on Saturday Jan 18 5-7pm, closing Saturday Feb 15 5-7 pm.

The Crocker-Kingsley exhibition, a revered tradition since 1926 and a juried event since 1940, stands as a prestigious testament to the dynamic evolution of contemporary art. This collaboration between the Crocker Art Museum and the Kingsley Art Club has long been a beacon for artistic innovation, showcasing both emerging talent and celebrated masters.

For the 82nd edition, juror Grace Kook-Anderson, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art at the Portland Art Museum, selected approximately 80 works from an impressive pool of 2,516 submissions by 643 artists. Plan a pit stop to see the show if you are on your way to the Sierras or find yourself in the neighborhood! More info here.
