Follow along the guided tour to hear from featured artists, and for a chance to win tickets to Eugene Symphony’s Symfest!
1 5:30 PM | Kesey Square (Broadway & Willamette) May is Bike Month! This Bike Month kick-off event celebrates and merges Eugene’s bike culture and art scene, featuring:
2 6 PM | Epic Seconds (30 E 11th Ave)
“Macedonian Noir” is a small retrospective of Robert Dandarov’s artwork over his multi-decade career. “My creative roots belong to Macedonia, a country that distinguishes itself by its cyclical periods of blood, poetry, image, myth and history.” Robert continues to work in this “Macedonian Noir” style, in which he forgoes all restraint and delves into the mysterious world of the inner psyche, often infusing it with an apocalyptic symbolism.
3 6:30 PM | Oregon Art Supply (1020 Pearl St) Sarah Grew presents a range of her work, including mixed media works on paper and paintings on steel. Steel allows her to use the reflective surface to create paintings that change with their environment and play with time, light, and motion as they redefine our notions of how paintings behave.
4 7 PM | Passionflower Design (128 E Broadway) Discover the Japanese art of creating pot-less ornamental plants! Kokedama (koke = moss, tama = ball) are a part of the art tradition called “Wabi Sabi” and are a popular, meditative way of creating stylish plant arrangements for your home.
5 7:30 PM | Karin Clarke Gallery (760 Willamette St) Karin Clarke Gallery welcomes spring with “Oregon Native Saints,” a glorious exhibit of new paintings by local artist Olga Volchkova that celebrates or “canonizes” local plants. Volchkova does an incredible amount of research before she begins each piece, filling the works with detail and “little jokes” which delight and charm the viewer.
