This is an evening to honor the nominees as well as the award winners.” The name Shellie was derived from the venue in which the first ceremony took place – the walnut packing warehouse – lovingly called the Nuthouse by all who performed there. During off-season of the walnut harvest, the Walnut Growers Association loaned the building to local organizations and theatre companies who constructed a temporary stage and audience risers in the mid-1960’s to bring live performances to the Walnut Creek area. In January of 1991 the Shellie Awards ceremony was held in the newly opened Regional Center for the Arts.

The Bedford Gallery at the Lesher Center for the Arts in downtown Walnut Creek is hosting a new exhibit titled The Jealous Curator from Blog, Book, to Gallery through February 1st. What I found interesting about this exhibit are the art stations where anyone (not only children) can make their own art. Check out the portraits posted in the photo below.
From the exhibit website:
The Bedford brings the blogosphere into the gallery with a show by the internationally renowned art blogger, The Jealous Curator. The exhibition is designed to enlighten, inspire, and chase away creative blocks that inhibit the artist in all of us. using The Jealous Curator’s newly released book, Creative Block: Advice and Projects from 50 Successful Artist, as a launch pad, the exhibition features art in a variety of media and “unblocking” art-making stations designed by artists.
Check out The Jealous Curator blog at www.thejealouscurator.com
