| The Young Artists Showcase
is held annually and is open to amateur performers,
ensembles, groups, artists and photographers who live in
Fremont, Newark or Union City and are under 23 years of
age.
 The
20th and final Young Artists Showcase was held on
Sunday, May 6th, 2007 at Ohlone College Smith Center for
the Fine and Performing Arts. This outstanding event
has been supported by the Fremont Cultural Arts Council
for two decades, and has provided hundreds of talented
young people in our community with the opportunity to
experience competitive auditions and to perform on a
professional stage in front of an appreciative
audience.
We thank our dedicated
volunteers for their dedication and hard work over many
years. Although many others have contributed over the
years, we especially wish to thank (from the left) Mary
Alice van Doorn, Bev Rose, Anne MacLeod, Mary Wolfe,
Doris Green, Marie Matthews.
