Southern Oregon Plein Air 2018-—We hope you were able to make it to the June 23 reception for the 2018 Southern Oregon Plein Air Event and perhaps even attend one of the painting demonstrations at Central Art Supply. Artists participated in two categories, Emerging Artist or Established Artist, creating works painted on location to compete for cash awards. These paintings are on display in the gallery until July 29, giving you the opportunity to obtain works by the southern Oregon’s finest plein air talent. The event is sponsored by the Artists’ Workshop of Southern Oregon and Central Art Supply.

Bill Stanton, “The Complete Works of Bill Stanton”-—Now through September, paintings by Bill Stanton are available for viewing at the Medford Public Library. Stanton’s use of impasto technique in oils leaves an impressive amount of deeply-textured paint on the canvas and his impressionistic style and sense of color bring movement and intense visual interest to the subjects he paints.

Champagne Grand Re-Opening—Mark your calendars and plan to attend our Grand Re-Opening on Saturday, September 1, from 1:00-3:00pm. Celebrate the renovations that have transformed our gallery space and enjoy “Life Left Undone,” a must-see invitational exhibit of paintings by Dan Mish, our first official guest artist. Now is the time to start your art collection!

Minstrel Streams FREE Concert—We’re looking forward to our next live music performance by Minstrel Streams on Sunday, August 12, from 2:00-4:00pm.
