Major Art Exhibition "River Reflections" to Open in Sutter Creek

Sutter Creek, CA...What happens when you ask some of the best artists in two counties to create work around a common theme? You get a major art exhibition that’s entirely provocative, different and new. Called “River Reflections,” the prodigious show brings together 40 original works of art, mostly paintings and photography, which offer different perspectives on the one and only Mokelumne River. The unique exhibit will travel to three locations during the next three months, but the kick-off event will .....


be in Sutter Creek in Amador County at the Hotel Sutter. The opening reception will be on Saturday, January 10, from 2 to 5 pm. The public is invited to attend the event showcasing art, music, and poetry to celebrate along with the artists and local and statewide dignitaries. Don’t miss the outrageous human fountain of water that will beckon guests in front of the hotel. The River Reflections exhibition, which also features ceramics, jewelry, glass, mounted poetry, will run here until the end of January.
River Reflections is a landmark arts endeavor created by AmadorArts, aka Amador County Arts Council, as a “Creative California Communities” Project funded by the California Arts Council. Project partners are the Calaveras County Arts Council, the Foothill Conservancy, and East Bay Municipal Utility District. Artists of all disciplines have created works reflecting the project’s mission of creating awareness and significance of the Mokelumne River in all of our lives, whether for drinking water for 1.4 million people, irrigation, power, recreation, or beauty. “People, especially those in the East Bay Area, are simply not aware of where their tap water actually comes from,” explains Terra Forgette, Project Coordinator. “That’s one reason why this excellent exhibition will be packed up and set-up again in Oakland for the month of February.”
A panel of well-respected arts experts have judged the work, resulting in cash prizes for six artists from both Amador and Calaveras counties, including visual art, literary art, music, dance and performance art. Additional awards will come from a Popular Choice Vote whereby the public attending the exhibits may cast votes for their favorite based on these four themes: Recreation, Beauty, Resource, and Conservation. Most all of the artwork is for sale and will prove to be highly regarded collector items.
In February the total exhibit will be installed the EBMUD Headquarters at 375 11th St., Oakland, with the reception on Friday, February 6, from 11 am to 1 pm. Then, in March it will come back to our region to the Historic Hotel Leger in Mokelumne Hill at 8305 Main St. The reception will be on March 14, from 2-5 pm. Save the date of May 9 for the River Reflections Grand Finale Event to be held at Pardee Reservoir.

The stunning newly renovated Hotel Sutter, open 7 days a week, is located at 53 Main St., aka Highway 49 business route, in Sutter Creek. The exhibit can be found in the Banquet Room to the right of the lobby. For more information contact AmadorArts at 209-267-9038 or visit www.amadorarts.org
