​Tom Gehrig's work has been selected for the Biennial Crocker-Kingsley Exhibits multiple times: 1998, 2000, and in 2012 his piece, Fourth of Five Attempts to Attract A Mockingbird, was awarded 2nd Prize. Gehrig's work has also been selected for the 2019 exhibit, showing one of his latest paintings, Reconnoitering Deception Pass. The opening reception for the show is Saturday, January 19th, from 5-8pm. Mr. Gehrig will be one of four artists lecturing at the event.

​The Crocker-Kingsley Exhibition at Blue Line continues a tradition first started in 1927 when the Kingsley Art Club staged an exhibition of its members’ work. This prestigious exhibit has included many of the premier names in American and Californian art, including Robert Arneson, Kathryn Uhl Ball, Elmer Bischoff, Fred Dalkey, David Gilhooly, Ralph Goings, Gregory Kondos, Roland Petersen, Mel Ramos, Ruth Rippon, Fritz Scholder and Wayne Thiebaud.
