Competition Jury
- Bobby Barnhart, RN, BS in Bus. Admin., University of Nebraska.
Life long artisan and member of the Walla Walla Valley Farmers Market
Association Board, as well as being a regular vendor at the Farmers
Market.
- Charly Bloomquist, MFA. An artist, a
photographer and a photographic artistic since the 1970s. A New York
native, Bloomquist graduated from Alfred University in 1974 and earned
his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 1992. While he currently teaches
photography at Whitman College and Walla Walla Community College,
Bloomquist’s own art continues to evolve as he creates images
produced by exposing photographic paper to developer, fixer, stop bath, film and other paper
in random combinations. The results are, in his words, “not
really photographs, not really paintings, not really art.” Some
would disagree. He has had shows of his non-traditional art in Alfred,
New York; Bakersfield, Fresno, Friant, Santa Monica and Venice, California; Managua,
Nicaragua and Walla Walla, Washington. In addition he is a founding member of
ArtSpace 1, a new co-operative gallery in downtown Walla Walla.
“This is an interesting time for photography,” says
Bloomquist. “The role in our cultures for the camera and the
photographic process to
record events has been replaced with film, television, video, and
digital methods. This leaves photography as dead as painting and as
archaic as lithography. Photographic artists can now do anything they want with the process.”

management of architectural and urban design projects in New York

(also known as the Anti-Snouthouse Ordinance) to the issue of
preservation of the public realm. These development standards identify
the essential elements that make healthy streets and
neighborhoods.
