FINLEY ART EXHIBITS



Honoring the Pomo Youth Dancers, by Christine Cobaugh January 5 – February 2, 2012 This exhibit by photographer Christine Cobaugh includes three groups of images. The first features portraits of dancers in the Pomo Youth Dance Group of Santa Rosa, founded by Joe Salinas. For many dancers, participating in this group reflects important family and community values and is a deeply meaningful spiritual practice. The second group of images is a new abstract series, Spirit Dancers, reflecting Cobaugh’s interpretation of the energy and passion expressed by the Pomo Youth dancers. Lastly, the show includes twelve drawings and paintings by Pomo young people – ages 6 and up – representing elements of Pomo culture, past and present.
