Umpqua Valley Arts Association - Corridor Gallery
Corridor Gallery - Current Exhibit
The UVAA Annual Membership Open
June 18th through August 20
The membership show is hanging throughout every gallery in the building. This is one of the annual favorites of many; the show being made up of one art piece per member/creator. Age, media and profession set aside, the galleries are full of an eclectic array of artwork including hand made dolls, carousel horse, jewelry, journals and everything else.
Current membership is and was the only requirement to hang. In fact, if it fit through the door we accepted it!
Be thinking of next year's project now, the UVAA Open show applications will be on the website soon for 2011!

FUNNY, INTUITIVE, FRESH, ONE-OF-A-KIND, ADORABLE, THOUGHT PROVOKING.......
You will just have to come into the Arts Center before this year's Student Art Show ends to enjoy the 400+ art pieces that hang on every wall in every gallery on the main floor of the building!
This show provides the Arts Center reason to celebrate since it is responsible for funding so much of the work you will see.
Thank you to so many artist volunteers who are sent out with the mission to bring and maintain art in our schools; unfortunately so many schools within the district do not provide these experiences to our area children.
Thank you to all of you who continue to support the Arts Center through membership and volunteerism to help fund and make these community projects possible!

This ambitious group of painters meet at different locations beginning on each Monday from March through October. Armed with sunblock, hats, jackets and all the painting gear they can fit in their arms, they set out to capture light and composition from the landscape around them. This is a beautiful representation of this groups ongoing effort to improve their art skills.

ANNUAL UVAA MEMBERSHIP SHOW "DELICIOUS"
The building is bursting with color, flavor and just a lot of testament to talent! The Membership Show is one of the benefits to being a member of UVAA! This is held once a year throughout the building and is a time for each member to submit without jury or charge one piece of choice that has been completed within the last two years.
If you are not a member this would be one good reason to join in!

"ONE MORE PLATONIC FORM" BY TERRY MCGUIRE
"The first inspiration for my artistry came from my grandfather and the little doodle mazes he would draw for my brother and I; weaving his labyrinths through our written names and simple animal figures he would sketch. I then spent entirely too much time making doodle mazes myself during classes in grade school. And so it began......
To inspire my work, I take a picture of a flower, or even a local example of architecture (such as the tile work in the YMCA pool), in which I see the embryo of a new piece. Then, I deconstruct the image with the aid of my computer, modify and mold the pieces, and reconfigure them into geometric patterns. At this point, I begin weaving the labyrinth-like mazes throughout the piece, allowing the paths to flow and develop as they contour themselves to each other, and to the central form of each piece. Each picture requires at least a week to create.
I like to allow some randomness to mix with the planned structure of each Mandela, and, hopefully the end result represents man's struggle to maintain a balance between order and chaos."
