My mosaic art differs from most other because I use recycled linoleum and vinyl as my medium.  Since my pieces consist of discontinued samples and discarded materials, I must create my images using a limited range of color on my “palette”.  That is the challenge I enjoy, putting these materials to a new and creative use.

It all becomes art, rather than landfill!

I’ve been working with clay exclusively since 2020. I was an oil painter before. Sculpting in clay, I’m very interested in animal and human forms; what I can bring to those, how can I change, enhance or illustrate some kind of emotion in their gesture and surface. Each piece inspires me to do another.

I like colors.  Well, except for beige.  And taupe.   Other than that, the rest of the colors are in my friend group.
I am always happy when I am making art and that happiness exudes from my work and will envelop those who view the art.   Or something like that.  🙂

Valley Art

We are delighted to welcome everyone to the gallery during our celebrated Annual Artist Event, Nov. 10-19. This year’s theme is “We the Artists” – and “we” always have something to show and, frequently, something to say. Forest Grove and Washington County have many dedicated Valley Art enthusiasts.

For 57 years — our gallery was founded in 1966 — we have sought the best art to display and sell. Our 10-day event begins with a reception on Nov. 10, from 7-9 p.m. During the 10 days of AAE, we offer new, renewing, and current members a one-time 10% discount during the event. Members are encouraged to bring a guest with them, although they won’t receive the 10 percent discount unless they become a member for $25 that night. Look for your brochure and tickets in the mail.

There will be a raffle during our members’ night reception, with a variety of great prizes. Tickets will be available for $2 each. Buy several! The Annual Artist Event hours will be Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.; and on Sunday, 12 – 4 p.m. Please join us. Come and “shop local” this holiday season and find one-of-a-kind gifts for friends or family.

Most of my life I have journaled my experiences by creating images with words. My artwork combines intricate and, at times, very simple images, often inspired by nature. These pieces expanded ways to convey more color and depth to journalling becoming the stand-alone pieces you see here. I use combinations of Ink, Watercolor, and Colored Pencils to create my abstract artwork. I have long been inspired by the glassworks of Frank Lloyd Wright’s windows, Stained Glass panels in places of worship, and lamp work. I have incorporated my skills as a silversmith, jeweler and sculptor to make my one-of-a-kind artwork.

I learned how to oil paint when I was in my late thirties. I had always thought you had to be able to draw well in order to paint well. That turns out to not be true. Finding oil painting was a great way for me to express myself and I didn’t have to be good at drawing.

Paint the Town Business Q & A

Does my business need a special event to participate?

No, you can just list your business and its regular hours, address, services, etc.

Does my business need to be in Forest Grove?

Yes, we’re the 97116 Art Show and interested in boosting public engagement and tourism in Forest Grove. If your business zip code is 97116, you’re welcome to participate.

Is it really free?

Yes, you can list on our site free! Each year businesses can sponsor to be on the poster, the deadline is always Oct. 31. Limited to 4 businesses, $50 poster sponsorship. Email 97116artshow.com to inquire.

Does my business need to be a brick and mortar?

No, but think about how you will engage the public for non-physical spaces and list that!

May my business list events leading up to that weekend?

Yes, but most of our audience will see Paint the Town advertised for the weekend. However, do keep it to the week leading up to the art show opening Nov 17th. Did your event already happen but the items are still for sale? List that! Thinking of your ornaments, A Framer’s Touch.

Is my business allowed more than one listing?

Yes, you may list multiple events that may be happening that weekend, or your extended hours separately from an “event.” Maybe you just want to list an item or service special you’ll have for the weekend. We’re pretty flexible and will let you know if it seems something doesn’t fit.

What if I make a mistake on my listing?

Simply revisit the form page and list again, then email us at 97116artshow@gmail.com to remove the incorrect listing. If it’s not obvious which is correct, give us an identifying descriptor in your message.

Do my hours need to match the 97116 Art Show?

No, you don’t have to match our hours. We open Nov 15th with the reception 6:00-10:00PM. Then the exhibit is open Saturday and Sunday 12:00 – 4:00PM. We’re also showing through Dec 7th this year. Your hours can be whatever you like, extended or regular.

Is there a Paint the Town game this year?

No. We found that last year not many people participated and only a couple of businesses shared how it went for them. Instead of expending the effort for a complicated game, we encourage businesses to have their own giveaways to collect marketing info or traffic. Or not.

Why is 97116 Art Show only one weekend?

This year it’s not! We’ll be on exhibit through Dec 7th, with our grab-n-go portion only available opening weekend. Our show is usually only one weekend because it creates a sense of urgency for viewers and shoppers, plus our volunteers don’t have unlimited time to host and sell the art. We have chosen the third weekend in November for a few reasons. It’s the peak start to Christmas shopping and artists who create toward demand are accustomed to making work available during bazaar season. Some of us need a deadline to create new work 😉 We also didn’t want to compete with Valley Art’s long established Annual Artist Event opening.

I’ve been in the Forest Grove/Cornelius area for 14 years and lived in Oregon all my life. I decided to start painting about 5 years ago, so I’m still sort of a beginner. I am not sure I have a painting style yet, I guess it would be “Whimsical”.  I love supporting local small businesses, and  participating in local markets especially around the holidays!

Cards can be duplicates from last year, but fresh is better.

Labels (x 2 this year PLUS Fill out the Inventory) Use either this Word or PDF documents for labels. Just use your best handwriting if the fillable PDF fields don’t work for you.

You must list each display piece, card, and bin piece separately. The deadline for this is just before you drop your work, so do it before you bring work and make sure it matches what you bring.

Labels (x 2 this year PLUS Fill out the Inventory) Use either this Word or PDF documents for labels. Just use your best handwriting if the fillable PDF fields don’t work for you.

Hello, Artists!

Despite what you may have heard, April and Emily are producing the 97116 Art Show again this year. 97116 artist and gallery director, Tyler Brumfield, reached out to ask if we’d be interested in exhibiting at the Kathrin Cawein Gallery at Pacific University. We said yes. After meeting with gallery coordinator and 97116 artist, Stevie Woods, we learned they hoped to exhibit longer than our show runs which means a few significant changes for 2024. Please take a look at the listed changes and if you’ve already registered but these aren’t acceptable, let April know and she can withdraw your entry.

What’s New:

  • Longer exhibit

  • Accurate inventory required

  • Two different payout dates

  • Choose payout method on inventory form

  • Only three days for dropping work

  • Only one day for unsold work pick up

  • Fewer funds for marketing

  • Okay to use Command strips

  • Pick up slip made during drop off

  • Gallery handles reception & no-host alcohol

Exhibit: Nov 15th – Dec 7, Live grab-n-go sales opening weekend, then online sales and red dots Nov 18-Dec 7

Inventory: Every artist needs to fill out accurate inventory for each piece, plus have usual labels. This is for sales and the gallery-covered insurance once installation is complete and approved.

Payouts: By Dec 7th for opening weekend sales, by Dec 31st for subsequent sales

Drop Artwork:

Friday Nov 8, 6:30 – 8:30PM

Saturday Nov 9, 11:00AM – 2:00PM

Sunday Nov 10, 12:00-3:00PM (okay to send someone with your work)

Pick Up Unsold Work: Sunday Dec. 8th 12pm – 4pm only, okay to send someone

Marketing: We’ll rely on a lot of word of mouth and social media sharing since the Oktoberfest fundraiser was a bust.

Display: For 2D work you have a choice between secure wiring or Command Strips ~ if the work is flush and light enough. See detailed descriptions in the Guidelines & Resources.

Pick Up Slip: When you drop your work, your pick up slip will be made and left for unsold artwork, so all of your work, bin work, and cards need to be delivered at the same time.

Reception: The reception will be Friday Nov. 15th from 6pm-10pm and all food / drinks will be facilitated by Cawein Gallery / Pacific University / Bon Appétit. Expect alcohol to be no-host.

What’s still the same:

Need Spanish version? https://www.97116artshow.com/usp_form/2024-artists-esp/

Are you an artist who likes to sell their work in a booth setting? Reach out to FGPublicArts@gmail.com before Oct 25th to ask for an application to be considered for “Fall Into Art” happening next to our show on Sat. Nov 16, 12-4pm. Brought to you by the Forest Grove Public Arts Commission.

Have work completed that you want considered for the poster? Email a sharp high quality image by October 31st.

We do hope you will find this year’s changes a positive opportunity, work will be seen in a well-lit gallery setting and for an extended period of time. Please pardon how long it’s taken this email to get to you, April is having health struggles again. That said, please assist us in getting the word out to other artists in Columbia, Washington, and Yamhill counties before October 31st. Also, talk up the Opening Reception Friday Nov 15th and exhibit dates through Dec 7th.
