Valley artists Walter and Valerie Whitford exhibit in Bakersfield
Walter and Valerie Whitford, Solvang gallery studio artists, show 45 works at Cunningham Memorial Art Gallery in Bakersfield. Art director Betty Gravis says the exhibit is a favored learning experience for local schools and colleges, with teachers bringing students for tours and reports. The Bakersfield Art Assn. and community praise the show as possibly the best ever. Whitford designed two sand gardens for metal sculptures in the gallery center, featured in the Sunday Bakersfield paper. The couple also appeared on local TV discussing their work and spoke on Holistic Approach to Art at a gallery meeting.
