Arroyo Seco Journal/Rock Rose Gallery Present... Caris Arkin, 6/15

The Arroyo Seco Journal and Rock Rose Gallery are proud to present singer/songwriter CARIS ARKIN as the debut artist for the Rock Rose Gallery 2008 Summer Concert Series, this SUNDAY, June 15 at 6 p.m.

Arkin, an American who has lived in Assisi, Italy for the past 15 years, is an exceptional and unique performer whose music is spiritual, inspiring and grooving, all at once.  Arkin will be performing songs from his albums, "The Unstoppable Train," "The Diving Horse," and many more.

A talented guitarist and singer, Arkin was a guest of the band Ann Likes Red, at the recent Lummis Day show with Jackson Browne, and has been playing shows in the LA area since his visit began here in late May. He will be heading north for shows in San Francisco this coming week before his return to Europe and an engagement in Spain. You may hear his work at www.myspace.com/carisarkin

The Arroyo Seco Journal, Northeast LA's finest local newspaper since 1999, continues its commitment to local arts and culture with this collaboration with Rock Rose Art Gallery.

Rock Rose Art Gallery, a community minded artistic enterprise opened its doors in Historic Highland Park in 2000. Committed to a mission of providing a nurturing environment for artists of all disciplines and ages, Rock Rose has also contributed to the landscape of viable artistic storefronts which provide an empowering environment of creative spirit for artists and community alike.

Pre-Mother’s Day Party at Rock Rose Gallery

Rock Rose Art Gallery will be hosting a Pre-Mother’s Day Party for Mothers, Mother’s To Be, their families and friends on Sunday, May 4, 2008 from 2 to 4 p.m. Special guest for the event is artist Irma Montelongo, who will introduce her new series of ceramic statues “Las Madres” (Mothers) celebrating motherhood in her own whimsical, feminine fashion. Joining her will be Sigrid Soto, a local artist known for her unique style of jewelry design. Included in her display will be other creations certain to be a hit with mom. This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are requested by calling (323) 635-9125.

Ms. Montelongo, has been a potter for 24 years. She first became interested in working with clay in 1980. She attend East Los Angeles College, taking ceramics classes, but had to postpone her studies due to the birth of her last child. She continued her education at Rio Hondo College as an Art Major taking drawing, painting and ceramic classes. It wasn’t until she attended Baldwin Park Adult School that she was introduced to new throwing techniques and glazing methods that enabled her to be more creative and free with her designs. She has exhibited her work in several galleries around Southern California. She sells her pottery under the business name Playklay. Irma received her Vocational Education Teaching Credential for art and painting in 2000 and is currently teaching at Baldwin Park Adult School.

Artist Sigrid Soto was born in Monterey Park, California and raised by her Costa Rican parents in Long Beach, California.  Her interest in color, texture, and nature led to the creation of her original jewelry. The result is a timeless piece, unique yet versatile for everyday and special occasions.

Since opening it’s door in Historic Highland Park in 2000, Rock Rose Art Gallery’s mission has been to present and nurture visual and performing artists of all ages in an environment that also bridges communities through the arts. Located in the historic Arroyo Section of Northeast Los Angeles at 4108 N. Figueroa Street in Highland Park, the gallery can be reached by the metro Gold Line exiting at the Southwest Museum stop.
