There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond
the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments
of our greatest wisdom. If one could recall his vision by some sign…
It was in this hope that the arts were invented. ~Robert Henri

August 2018 Exhibitions:

Art Presence is on hiatus through the end of August.

The Artists’ Workshop Annual Show & Sale—After enjoying the second annual Southern Oregon Plein Air 2018 Exhibition, sponsored by Central Art Supply and the Artists’ Workshop of Southern Oregon, we hope you’ll come back to support the Artists’ Workshop of Southern Oregon’s Annual Show & Sale. We anticipate a landmark show of the best works created in the past year by the group’s members, including plein air works. The show opens August 3 and continues through August 26. Join our guests for their artist reception on Saturday, August 4 from 2:00-5:00pm. For more information, please the Artists’ Workshop’s article in this issue.

Bill Stanton, “The Complete Works of Bill Stanton”—Oil paintings by the ever-popular Bill Stanton are on display at the Medford Public Library through September. Stanton’s impasto technique adds depth and movement to his impressionistic style and his lively yet natural use of color results in paintings that are worthy centerpieces for any interior décor scheme.

Champagne Grand Re-Opening—Make room in your busy schedule to join us for our Grand Re-Opening on Saturday, September 1, from 1:00-3:00pm to celebrate the renovations that have transformed our gallery space. Chat with the artists over catered hors d’oeuvres and champagne. Enjoy “Life Left Undone,” a must-see invitational exhibit of paintings by Dan Mish, our first official guest artist, along with a show of works by our members. A fine artist for over 30 years, Dan’s art has been featured in major galleries in the United States and his paintings are in many art collections worldwide. Learn more at DanMish.com.
