Opening reception for Color and Shape, an exhibition featuring new contemporary art from regional artists Bill Baily, Diane Copenhaver, Tanya Gardner, Renée Hafeman, Mike Mason, Emily Miller, Jorjett Strumme, and Candy Swartz. The show covers every aspect of abstract art, textures, materials and finishes, highlighting the quintessentially colorful fall season.
“Color and Shape are key elements in the language of abstract art. Each of these elements of design offers infinite possibilities to communicate visually. Both have the power to create an energy that is almost palpable. Whether cool and calming, warm and energizing, light or dark, color can transport us to another place or time. Shape can create an illusion, a feeling, or sense of something. In my current artwork, I have used both of these elements of design incorporating colors inspired by the beautiful Oregon coast and exploring the continuum of abstraction through shape,” Diane Copenhaver.
Fall habitat lecture by naturalist and wildlife photographer Neal Maine at 6: pm. Live music by Shirley 88. Light bites and beverages.
