New Community Gallery Exhibition Looks 'Beyond the Horizon'

From the City of Palm Desert:

PALM DESERT, CA – The Palm Desert Community Gallery features artwork from Robert Bergazyn and Dina Budginas in its new exhibition, Beyond the Horizon, on display November 3 through January 13. The City will host a public reception to honor the artists on Monday, November 7, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Artist Robert Bergazyn began taking photos in the 1970s, developing black and white images in his own darkroom. He says the transition from film to digital imaging and his use of the latest technological equipment allows him to focus more on the creativity of his image than in the past. Bergazyn has photographed sites around the world and lectured, taught photography classes for adults, and had his work shown in galleries and museums throughout the U.S.

Lithuanian born artist Dina Budginas and her family immigrated to Boston in 1950 before moving to southern California 11 years later. In California, the artist married and raised four children while taking art classes at local community colleges. Even more important to her development as an artist, Budginas says, was vigorous self-study, which enabled her to express her love for beauty in nature and her passion for pursuing a life creating art.

The Palm Desert Community Gallery is located in Palm Desert City Hall, 73510 Fred Waring Drive, and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, please call 760-346-0611, ext. 664 or visit www.palmdesertart.org.
