THE LARSON GALLERY
The Larson Gallery is located on the campus of Yakima Valley College. Yakima is in the heart of Washington's Wine Country– the same latitude as the great wine-producing regions of France, with magnificent vineyards and 60 wineries in the Yakima Valley appellation. The Larson Gallery was established in 1949 as one of the original buildings on the campus of the then-named Yakima Valley Junior College. The Larson Gallery remains the largest and oldest continually operating non-commercial gallery in Central Washington. Its existence is a partnership between the Larson Gallery, the Larson Gallery Guild, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and Yakima Valley College

ABOUT THE JUROR 
Julia Dolan: Minor White Curator of Photography, Portland Art Museum

Born in Buffalo and raised in Montreal. She studied photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, art history at Pennsylvania State University, and then at Boston University, where she completed her doctorate on the industrial era photography of Lewis Hine.  Before her three-year fellowship in Philadelphia, Dolan worked at smaller museums, including the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Mass., and the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University.

Her experience as a prestigious fellow at the much bigger Philadelphia museum was the perfect way to learn her craft, she says. She curated or co-curated three shows in her three years there, including an exhibit on Ansel Adams, and she dealt with a larger staff and a collection of roughly 30,000 photographic works that will make Portland's seem more manageable.
