Fullerton, CA (Thursday, May 28, 2009) - The CSU Fullerton Housing Authority has worked for nearly a decade to help provide much needed affordable, quality housing for the many local educators who reside in the area. Recently, the Housing Authority announced that they would be opening up their
University Heights community to the general public, in order to provide beautiful leasing options in Fullerton at a reasonable monthly rate.

The CSU Fullerton Housing Authority has completed two housing projects in North Orange County, consisting of a variety of attached and detached single-family homes perfect for local teachers, educational staff, public employees and others who have been impacted by budget cuts. The two projects
include the University Heights and University Gables communities, located in Fullerton and Buena Park, respectively.

The Housing Authority saw a need for beautiful, high quality housing in the Orange County area that is affordable. They felt they could provide a valuable service by opening up their University Heights community to the general public. They wanted to ensure that the hard-working citizens of the
area had the opportunity to live in a prime neighborhood with great amenities without having to pay exorbitant costs.

More information regarding the Housing Authority, their projects and how to apply can be found at www.csufhomes.org.

The CSU Fullerton Housing Authority was formed in July 2000 with the express mission to provide and maintain affordable housing and related facilities for CSUF faculty, staff, and other educators. They currently have two housing projects with homes available for sale and lease. University Heights is located in Fullerton with homes for lease to Educators and the General Public. University Gables has homes for sale to Educators only, and is located in Buena Park.

“This innovative project is the first phase of the long-time business Graves Design and Communications to better help local businesses get their announcements, information and other press-worthy information
published,” said GC president Gary Graves. “This new FREE service will help put Fullerton Businesses on the map as the first online public relations site that will be available to anyone publishing their information as well as being available to anyone to read about Fullerton business activities.”

The next phase of the site will be to provide additional features:
greater online press distribution, classified and text ads, virtual trade shows, and video posting. More localized enhancements are also under development including local connection recommendations, local
events, etc.

Graves Design and Communications started in 1999 and will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary in October. The company provides design and advertising services to local businesses. Graves Design and
Communications develops, designs and implements brand programs, advertising, targeted direct mail, product campaigns, logos and identity systems, brochure series, Web sites and branded branch
merchandising. Their office is located in downtown Fullerton.

Over the last nine years, the CSU Fullerton Housing Authority has completed two housing projects in North Orange County, consisting of a variety of attached and detached single-family homes perfect for local teachers, educational staff, and others who must support their families on minimal salaries or have been impacted by budget cuts.

The University Heights community, located in Fullerton, provides a way for education professionals to lease beautiful new homes afordably without sacrificing quality and style. There is also another community, the University Gables, situated in nearby Buena Park, with homes for sale. Both of these housing communities work to provide a neighborhood setting that fosters community spirit among educators and their families.

“We plan to discuss with Senator Feinstein why the card check bill is bad for California’s workers and businesses, and would cripple our state’s economy,” said Board Chairperson, Jennifer Fitzgerald, “Our message is clear: oppose any advancement of this bill, there is no compromise.”

Chamber representatives will be visiting Senator Feinstein, among others in the California delegation, because their vote is critical in building upon bipartisan opposition to advancing the bill in the Senate. The legislation fell just nine votes shy of moving forward in the Senate in 2007. The delegation has also scheduled visits with Congressman Ed Royce and Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.

Next week, state and local chambers of commerce from Wisconsin, South Dakota and Indiana will also visit Washington to voice opposition to card check to their elected officials.

The card check bill was introduced in the House on March 10 with 223 original co-sponsors, 7 fewer than when the bill hit the House floor in 2007 despite expanded majorities supposedly sympathetic to the bill. The bill also hit the Senate with 40 co-sponsors, 7 fewer than in 2007.

WHAT:     REDEFINING THE LINE: ART NOUVEAU & THE FEMALE FIGURE

WHEN:     August 29 through October 2, 2009 Opening Reception, Saturday, August 29, 5-8 p.m.

HOURS:     12 - 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday & 12-2 p.m. Saturdays

WHERE:    Visual Arts Center • California State University, Fullerton 800 North State College Blvd., Fullerton, CA

CURATOR:     Alexandra Duron and Sarah Strozza

BACKGROUND: Redefining the Line: Art Nouveau & The Female Figure features the graphic design, illustration and installation work of ten international contemporary artists Pomme Chan, Deanne Cheuk, Naja Conrad-Hansen, Aya Kato, Pandarosa, Marguerite Sauvage, Alberto Seveso, Sonya Suhariyan, Yoshi Tajima and Eveline Tarunadjaja.  

Redefining the Line investigates the influence of historical Art Nouveau on contemporary artists and exhibits work by artists who use both traditional and digital media. Today, approximately 100 years since
its development, artists continue to reference Art Nouveau in terms of thefemale image, the decadent curvilinear embellishments, and the influence of Japanese woodblock prints. Contemporary artists interpret these ideas by incorporating the stylistic and symbolic notions of “the line” in a way that reflects the valu=
es and style of the 21st century.

This exhibition demonstrates the impact designers and illustrators have made on our visual culture. These=
artists successfully merge the fine art and commercial art worlds, applying fine art techniques and art historical ideas to commercial avenues geared towards fashion, music and popular cult=
ure.

Redefining the Line appeals to those with an art background as well as to a wide audience that can appreciate the artworks’ vibrancy and cutting-edge imagery.

The exhibition presents recent and new works, including installations created specifically for this exhibition. Redefining the Line also presents original drawings, created initially for the artists’ design work, that have never been exhibited.
