“Contra Costa County is fortunate in having four college art departments with outstanding faculty members who are also practicing artists -- painters, sculptors, printmakers, and photographers,” Marable said. “Most of these artists were educated in the visual arts at one of the well known Bay Area graduate programs: San Francisco Art Institute, California College of Art, San Francisco State University, San Jose State University and U.C. Berkeley. They pass along their own knowledge, philosophy and skills to their students.”

The artists:

• Contra Costa College: John Diestler, Donna Fenstermaker, Susannah Israel
• Diablo Valley College: Patrick Dintino, Scott King, Jesse Lovell, Chris Marker, Tim Taylor
• Los Medanos College: Rosalie Cassell
• St. Mary's College: Ray Beldner, Margarita Casanova, Kara Maria and Bijan Yashar

The exhibit, arranged by the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County under its “Art Passages” program, was on display on the ground floor of the county administration building at 651 Pine Street in downtown Martinez. Additional artwork for this exhibition was on view in the Board of Supervisors’ Chambers (Room 107) and in the Foyer Hallway.
