DESCRIPTION:
The 2nd City Council Art Gallery + Performance Space is proud to announce its next exhibition, "In the Name of All that's Holy." Twenty artists, from throughout the State of California, explore this timely issue with such pieces as Congregation Sha'arei Tefiua, Brown Angel, Reaction to "The Passion", Beyond the Skin 7, Sutras of Light and Nothing Lasts Forever. Dr. Allan Roberts, a Professor of World Arts and Culture at UCLA as well serving on the advisory boards of Islamic Studies and the Center for Religious Studies, juried the exhibition.

The exhibition takes place in the gallery's wonderful 1930's industrial art deco building (formerly Wille's Tin Shop, a fixture in Long Beach's history) located at 435 Alamitos Avenue in Long Beach. The exhibition includes woodcuts, assemblage, photography, thrown carved clay with glazes & stain, acrylic, mixed media, charcoal on paper, oil, gouache watercolor and sculpture based on a 7th millennium BC goddess. The free public artists' reception takes place Saturday, December 3, 2005 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. and will include The Power of Positive Music featuring Emmy winning Faith Rivera & Gerald White. Light refreshments will be served. Free reception parking, generously provided by Talbert Medical Group, is adjacent to the gallery at 5th & Alamitos Avenue. The exhibition runs through January 6, 2005. There is no daily admission and the gallery encourages the public to bring their lunch and relax in the gallery's garden created by Doug Sato.

Dr. Allen F. Roberts is also a Professor of French and Francophone Studies at UCLA, as well as director of the James S. Coleman African Studies Center. His Ph.D. in Anthropology was based upon four years of field research on cosmology, politics, and the arts among Tabwa people of the Congo. The book and exhibition that resulted were the first of five major NEH-funded projects created around his work or to which he has been a principal contributor. One book and exhibition considered animals in African art (1995), another recycling in Africa (1996). "Memory: Luba Art and the Making of History" (1996), organized with his spouse, Dr. Mary "Polly" Nooter Roberts (deputy director and chief curator, UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History), won the College Art Association's Alfred H. Barr Award for Museum Scholarship. Most recently, "A Saint in the City: Sufi Arts of Urban Senegal" (2003), also organized with Polly, won the African Studies Association's Herskovits Prize as the best book in African Studies of 2003, and the exhibition was hailed by art critic Holland Cotter of

The New York Times as one of the ten best of 2003 on any topic at any museum in the United States. ###
