Exhibition Details
The relationship between humans and nature is a frequently explored theme by artists. Uniquely, Some Things Are True, an exhibition featuring PNW artists Joe Batt and Nancy Watterson Scharf, asks us to consider our connection to the world from the animals’ point of view. Join us in The Arts Center’s Main Gallery and experience an enchanted space filled with lush landscapes, persevering plants, and hares who can accomplish anything.

The Kids Create classes are open to everyone in the community. They have limited space, so call and sign up as soon as possible at 541-497-0386.
If a class fills up, there’s always a possibility that they will create another class later in the day. If you have an elementary-age or younger child, please stay with your child and help supervise them.
These classes and workshops have been made possible through a grant from the Linn County Cultural Coalition.
