The Emerald Art Center presents: "Adventures in Painting" 

by the Plein Air Painters of Lane County.

Plein Air Painters of Lane County have been busy! This intrepid group of year-round Plein air artists have traveled far and wide, as well as enjoyed interpreting landscapes on the home turf. Many adventurers went to Central Oregon for the first ever PPLC trip organized by Tyler Burgess and there was even a workshop in France taught by Margaret Plumb. The Pacific Northwest provided wonderful painting opportunities for this group as well.

 

Plus: "Reprocessing" by Featured EAC Member, Keith Bennett.

In "Reprocessing", Keith invites viewers to explore how he revisits, reinterprets, and
retransforms images, experiences, materials, and emotions into new forms of
expression. For him, creation is an act of renewal—turning what once was
into something entirely different. Each piece becomes part of an ongoing
dialogue about change and the power of transformation through art.
The true beauty of art lies not in what is clearly seen, but in what remains
uncertain. Mystery invites curiosity—it allows the viewer to linger, to
question, and to find their own meaning within the work. He's drawn to that
space between understanding and wonder, where art becomes a mirror for
the imagination rather than a statement of fact. Within that ambiguity, he also
finds humor—a reminder that life, with all its contradictions and surprises,
doesn’t always need to make sense. Laughter, like art, opens the heart and
lightens the mystery, revealing beauty in the unexpected.

And: Springfield High School’s Studio Art and Graphic Design CTE program is proud to present works from Fall Quarter. 

This exhibit contains pieces from Drawing and Painting, Painting and Sculpture, Advanced Placement Studio Art, Graphic Design 1 and 2, Ceramics 1, 2 and Advanced Studio Ceramics. In these classes, students learn modern, industry-standard tools and techniques. They learn and apply the principles of design to produce a wide variety of both digital and material products, for both themselves, their school and their community. In this exhibit, you’ll see designs featuring the elements of art and principles of design, neurographic art, still lifes, paper mache sculptures, and ceramic forms. Journey with them through two-dimensional and three-dimensional art.
