Friends of the Gualala River (FoGR) sponsored an award at the Art in the Redwoods Festival in 2008, for the seventh year in a row. A cash prize contributed by the Friends of the Gualala River was given to the artist who best captured the ecology of the Gualala River watershed.

Congratulations and our sincere thanks to local artist Rozanne Rapozo for her remarkable photograph of a steelhead swimming upstream, “The Last Hurdle,” which won the Environmental Award sponsored by Friends of the Gualala River.

The 47th annual Art in the Redwoods Festival took place on Saturday, August 16 and Sunday, August 17, 2008, and featured about 400 fine art entries.

The fine art exhibit is on display at the Gualala Arts Center through September 7. There is no charge to see the exhibit, which is open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays, and from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. on weekends.
