Arts Rolla Presents the Work of William Oberholtzer During The Month of January
 
December 19, 2022- Arts Rolla is pleased to present a unique exhibit of original photography created by William Oberholtzer during the month of January 2023.   The exhibit will be installed on December 27 and remain on display throughout the month of January 2023 at The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Recreation Complex.     

The public is invited to the First Friday Opening Reception which will be held at The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Recreation Complex on January 6 between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm. 

About the Artist: 
Missouri photographer William Oberholtzer is a skilled photographer that tells a story with each image. His photographs have been shown in Pulaski, Phelps, and Green counties and on the internet. He loves to shoot landscapes, animals, portraits, and anything that catches his eye.
 
He bought his first camera while stationed in Germany. It was a Honeywell Pentax film camera. Sometime in the 80s, his wife Linda, told him that he needed a hobby, so he bought his first digital camera a Nikon D50.
 
Mr. Oberholtzer has been married to Linda for 53 years. They have two children and six grandchildren. He retired from the US Army in 1991. He then attended Jacksonville State University where he earned a Bachelor and Master’s `degree in education. Following graduation, he hired on with the US Army Military Police School as a training developer. And then moved to the Ozarks. He has found that the Ozarks is a target rich environment for his camera.

“You won’t want to miss this exhibit.  William Oberholtzer has been a longtime supporter and participant in the arts and his work has received several awards.   Each photograph draws the viewer to look closer and shares a story or a feeling.   He is excellent at capturing the essence of the subject with a single photograph,” says Loretta Peterman, president of Arts Rolla. 

We invite the public to drop by The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Recreation Complex on January 6 between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm.  to view this exhibit and meet the photographer. 

Financial support for this event has been partially provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts.  Additional underwriting support has been provided by Brewer Science, Inc., Phelps County Band, and the members of Arts Rolla.
