The Coalition Against Environmental Racism (CAER) is hosting our annual Spring conference online this year in less than a month. Please see poster above for details.
Please see details at this attachment:
After receiving enthusiastic response to news of our Smithsonian online screening series, we are excited to share further details on the third annual, first all-online Women Filmmakers Festival at SAAM. Starting on March 1st for Women’s History Month, each event is free and registration is open
Organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, this year’s Festival, themed “Her History Lessons,” highlights three singularly inspiring artists. The selected artists and works all draw lessons from past moments that speak to our current challenges and to audiences navigating turbulent times. In live Zoom events on Wednesdays at 5:30pm EST, you and your students can join artists Cecilia Vicuña (March 3), Coco Fusco (March 10), and Mariam Ghani (March 17) with SAAM curator Saisha Grayson, and colleagues from across the Smithsonian. Together, we’ll screen short video works and then discuss what we might learn regarding Indigenous philosophies of environmental stewardship; past state responses to racial justice and cultural activism; the link between earlier pandemics and social upheavals, and more. Longer films by each artist-director will also be available on the Festival website during the week of their conversation. And recordings of the Zoom events, with artworks embedded, will be available for a week after. These can be streamed as schedules allow, so perfect material for flipped classrooms. (I’m including more details on specific films below, all this is also on the website.)
Beyond Women’s History Month, the pan-Smithsonian monthly series, Viewfinder: Women’s Film and Video from the Smithsonian, continues throughout 2021 thanks to the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative. The recording of our February program with the incredible Joan Jonas will stay available on the Viewfinder website through mid-March. The next live event, with artist Zina Saro-Wiwa and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art, is Thursday March 4; you can register here.

Event Description:
The University of Oregon will have an amazing opportunity this Spring to
explore the power of storytelling. We would love for you, your friends,
students, and colleagues to be a part of it! In its fifth year,
“Intertwined 2021: A UO Listening Event” will be exploring the theme
“Chances”.
We are kicking off this year’s event on Tuesday, February 2nd and
Wednesday, February 10th with a fun, low-stress, free storytelling
workshop from 6:30-8:30PM. Both workshops will cover the same content
and be held virtually.
To RSVP: https://dos.uoregon.edu/rfl
All members of the UO community are welcome, and no previous
storytelling or theater experience is required. There’s also no need to
have a story in mind or commit to telling a story as part of the virtual
event premiering in May. The workshop will offer a space to learn about
the art of storytelling and practice crafting your own narrative. We
also hope participants will begin to see the many ways storytelling can
be useful in connecting with others in more professional settings.
Storytelling is a process and everyone is a “Storyteller,” there’s no
right or wrong way to do it, and powerful stories can come from even the
smallest moments.
Have a story to share? Apply to be a storyteller with Intertwined at the
link here by February 16, 2021 11:59pm. The planning committee values
the inclusion of all perspectives and will seek diversity in the form of
race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability/disability, language,
religion, nationality, socio-economic status, educational background,
veteran status, among other identities and experiences.
Other ways to be involved: Interested in being a story coach or want to
contribute as a collaborating artist? Contact Alyssa with the planning
committee at aleraas@uoregon.edu, no later than February 16, 2021
11:59pm, for more information.
The Coalition Against Environmental Racism (CAER) at the University of Oregon is a longstanding student-run organization with a rich and diverse 30-year long history. Our organization’s mission is to educate the community about the connection between environmental problems and social inequalities and bring activists together to combine efforts in the struggle for an environmental conference.
CAER hosts an annual Spring Conference centering around a topic in the climate justice movement and this year it will happen on 22 May 2021 with a focus on “Environmental Racism by Design.” We hope to address how the processes, industries, and built environments of design have led to racism and also cover innovative solutions to combat these problems in our society.
As a part of our conference and in the spirit of design, we are hosting an opportunity for artists and designers to showcase their work as it pertains to our conference in a virtual gallery exhibition format. We welcome ALL artists and creatives to apply and submit work of any medium that is related to our conference topic, CAER’s mission, the environment, social justice-related, anti-racist, intersectional, and/or personal. This includes traditional gallery-style art but we also welcome project-based work like advertising campaigns or side projects too.
The gallery viewing experience will take place during our conference starting on May 22, 2021, via an interactive virtual gallery format to accommodate COVID-19 safety protocols. We welcome all submission types (2D, 3D, digital, etc.) so the sky is the limit!
Use this google form link to submit work!
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT IS APRIL 2, 2021 @11:59 PM PST

Maude Kerns Art Center Presents
Art for All Seasons Annual Membership Show
Club Mud Ceramics Holiday Sale
November 20 – December 18, 2020
The Maude Kerns Art Center presents the 28th annual “Art for All Seasons Membership Show” and the “Club Mud Ceramics Holiday Sale,“ featuring the artwork of over 140 member artists and ceramics by 15 members of the Art Center’s onsite ceramics cooperative, Club Mud. The exhibit is on display through Friday, December 18.
Art for All Seasons features paintings, drawings, prints, photography, sculpture, fiber art, mixed media, digital art, and functional and decorative ceramics. This annual show provides a perfect opportunity to purchase original artwork in many price ranges for holiday gift giving.
The Maude Kerns Art Center is adhering to all State of Oregon and Oregon Health Authority guidelines. The Art for All Seasons Membership Show and Club Mud Holiday Sale can be viewed in person and online at www.mkartcenter.org. Artwork may also be purchased through the Art Center’s website.
Jenny Gray explores her personal experiences and the human condition using abstracted figures, objects, and symbols. She most recently exhibited her work at Maude Kerns Art Center in January – February 2020 in the group show, “Conversations.” For the Membership Show, Gray displays a painting titled Mean Surf that evokes her fear of suddenly being caught in a rip tide. She says of this piece: “I think this painting grew out of the stress and feeling of hopelessness I had at the end of the summer of 2020.”
Edward Teague exhibits two paintings in this year’s Membership Show. He is inspired by the Oregon environment in his work, using the forms, shapes, and colors of nature more to express a mood than to create a representational image. An Abstract Expressionist at heart, he is attracted by the immediacy of acrylic, and prefers to paint with a pottery-shaping tool instead of a brush so that he can achieve the texture and gestural expression he desires. For Teague, the act of discovery is the prime motivation of his art practice.
Karen Washburn shows two clay sculptures in the Membership Show – a dramatic head of a man with a bird titled Companions in the Wind and a more straightforward female portrait head. Working from the model, Washburn captures the gesture, expression, and the structure of the face or body. She says of her work: “My style can vary from rough to more refined, but I generally sculpt in a realistic vein, because through specific examples I think something broadly meaningful can be carried: a sense of presence, and life.”
The Maude Kerns Art Center, located at 1910 E. 15th Avenue at the corner of 15th and Villard, is Eugene’s first non-profit community center for the visual arts. Gallery hours are from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday – Friday, and noon to 4:00 pm on Saturday when exhibits are on display.

Maude Kerns Art Center Presents
Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead Exhibit
Exhibit Dates: October 9 – November 2
The Maude Kerns Art Center celebrates the 27th annual Día de los Muertos Exhibit in 2020 with artwork, community altars, and a special Day of the Dead Gift Shop. The exhibit, which can be viewed in person or online, is on display through Monday, November 2.
The Mexican Day of the Dead celebration acknowledges the link between the communities of the living and the dead. The holiday blends the ancient harvest rituals of the Aztec god of death and the Roman Catholic holidays of All Souls and All Saints days. On November 1 and 2, the dead are thought to return to partake in the activities of the living. Holiday activities include the creation of altars that welcome deceased loved ones.
The 2020 Día de los Muertos Exhibit features 29 artists, displaying artwork in a variety of two- and three-dimensional media, including watercolor, acrylic and oil painting, paperclay sculpture, photography, silk painting, intaglio and linocut prints, assemblage, art quilts, fabric and embroidery, and mixed media.
Eugene artist Mija Andrade exhibits a group of dolls in this year’s Día de los Muertos Exhibit. Andrade has been influenced by trips to Oaxaca, Mexico where she experienced the Día de los Muertos holiday. Enthralled by the colors, people, arts, clothing, and culture, Andrade says she was able to connect in a deeper way with her Mexican heritage. The experience of the Día de los Muertos celebration in Oaxaca continues to inspire her art and her creative direction.
Silverton, Oregon artist Mavis Leahy shows three of her fiber/mixed pieces this year. A self-taught artist, Leahy grew up in Los Angeles, where the Día de los Muertos celebration continues to be an important part of the city’s heritage. Her pieces, which are created from found objects, antique and vintage textiles, embroidery, and quilting, are rich and evocative expressions that honor the departed.
Eugene artist Alan Ott exhibits a sculpture titled Corona Queen, made of repurposed jeep struts and welded steel. Ott’s piece is very tall with a long predatory beak. It hovers ominously over most people of average height. Corona Queen is envisioned as the taker of life and is dedicated to those who have died or suffered from the horrors of COVID-19.
In addition to artwork, the Día de los Muertos Exhibit includes five alcreated by individuals and community groups. The Art Center’s Duchess Committee presents an altar in honor of Maude I. Kerns; Hannah Goldrich, Marion Malcolm, and Carol Van Houten display a large altar dedicated to Steven Deutsch, one of the founders of the UO’s Labor and Education Center; Patricia Cortez presents a special hanging altar, a Día de los Muertos tradition popular in parts of Morelos, Mexico; Mija Andrade’s ofrenda, which she is making with her mother, honors “Las Gran Tias,” the great aunts important in her life; and Toni Goldenberg creates an altar dedicated to her sister.
A Day of the Dead Gift Shop presented by Suzanne Algara of Buganvilla Imports features authentic crafts created by Mexican artists, including Catrina figures, Day of the Dead dogs, nichos (decorative religious altars), milagros (charms), an array of skulls, and morre
Online video tours of the Día de los Muertos Exhibit for children and adults will be available on the Art Center’s website at www.mkartcenter.org.
The Maude Kerns Art Center is adhering to all State of Oregon and Oregon Health Authority guidelines. The Día de los Muertos Exhibit can be viewed in person and online at www.mkartcenter.org. Artwork may also be purchased through the Art Center’s website.

The 21th Annual
With New Acquisitions:
Selected Works by Maude I. Kerns
September 4 – 25, 2020
The Maude Kerns Art Center is honored to present the 21st annual Fast Forward: The Mayor’s Teen Art Show and New Acquisitions: Selected Works by Maude I. Kerns, opening on Friday, September 4 and on view through September 25. The Title Sponsor for the 2020 “Mayor’s Teen Art Show” is the Susi Larsen & Cameron Serbu Memorial Scholarship Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation. Mayor Lucy Vinis selects the Mayor’s Choice Award winner. The “Mayor’s Teen Art Show” jurors, artists and art educators Krista Raasch, Christopher St. John, and Barbara Counsil, choose additional award winners. All awards will be announced on Friday, September 11.
This year’s Fast Forward: The Mayor’s Teen Art Show features 31 teen artists from 11 schools. The selected artists display work in a wide variety of mediums, including watercolor, acrylic, and oil paintings, papier mâché sculptures, glass, wood, and textile works, graphite, ink, and ebony pencil drawings, digital art, linoleum prints, mixed media, and photography.
Nevaeh Bahler, 13, from Monroe Middle School, displays five works using different media. One striking piece of digital art titled Imagine is an image of a young Black girl set against a vivid purple background. Nevaeh expresses the important role that imagination plays in her artwork: “Art gives me the opportunity to get away from reality, think outside the box, and express my feelings. When I create I feel like I’m being taken to a different world, of just me and my creative thoughts.”
Nic E. Hampton, 19, from California College of Arts and Crafts, exhibits two glass pieces and three mixed media works in this year’s “Mayor’s Teen Art Show,” including a moving mixed media acrylic painting titled Hope. Nic, who loves the complexity of art, asks herself three questions before she begins creating: “What do I want to say? Why do I want to say it? and Why should it exist in the world?” Once she answers these questions, she says, “I can then start to think about what material and form will best convey my feelings.”
Cailin Stewart, 15, from South Eugene High School, shows one abstract painting and four digital photographs in the 2020 “Mayors’ Teen Art Show,” including a mysterious black and white photograph called Girl Looking Through. Cailin, a triplet, found her individuality through photography and painting. She says, “When I paint, I find inspiration in the world around me…. My photography is another way to provide a view of the world through my emotional lens.”
New Acquisitions: Selected Works by Maude I. Kerns is exhibited in the Maude I. Kerns Salon Gallery. It is partially sponsored by Marion Sweeney and dedicated to Leslie Brockelbank, the great niece of Maude Kerns. The exhibit features 18 pieces which have never been exhibited before. They are among a larger body of works on paper given to the Art Center by Leslie Brockelbank’s daughter, Mary Jane Griffiths, who sent her donation to the Art Center from her home in New Zealand. Largely non-objective, the work includes studies, prints, and paintings on paper.
The Maude Kerns Art Center is adhering to all State of Oregon and Oregon Health Authority guidelines. Both exhibits can be viewed in person and online at www.mkartcenter.org. Artwork may also be purchased through the Art Center’s website.

We are a group of students from the Student Health Advisory Committee
(SHAC). As many of you know, we recently started The Vulnerability
Project, in which we collected student-submitted art pieces for our
journal. We are excited to announce the release of our journal, and we
invite you to come take a look!
Vulnerability is something everyone experiences when it comes to mental
health and wellness, but with vulnerability we are also able to harness
and strengthen bonds we have with loved ones and forge new ones with
those around us. This is even more important during the COVID-19
pandemic. While we may be separated from one another, this project
reminds us to stay connected. One way we can bring us together is by
sharing the art we make together.
To celebrate the release of the journal we will be hosting a
release party via Zoom. It will be on Monday, June 1st, from 5pm to 6pm
PST. We will be celebrating with a game and discussions about
vulnerability. Zoom meeting link: https://uoregon.zoom.us/j/96714080709

Ditch Projects is pleased to present
Performance. Reading accompanied by Moog Mother 32 system and Korg ms20.
The Sign of the Enterer describes the space of queer embodiment and desire, the digital and material, the seen and unseen.
The space between is a space of action, of power, of conjuring. It is a moment in time, and an endless shift. The utopia of this text is not a cataclysmic becoming into a new state for humanity. Rather this utopia is a shift of individual consciousness and claimed agency, from moment to moment. It imagines an awakening into freedom, pleasure, and kinship, as signified by the queer and the cyborg. We learn from these icons to create the world as we are created by the world. As agents we are encouraged to choose to shift our time in one direction or another, from moment to moment. It is the locus of a shared politic of empowered interaction with the other.
This Performance/Reading is part of A Good Way to Invent the Future, co-curated by Ditch Projects Co-Artistic and Executive Directors Mike Bray and Marissa Lee Benedict, and generously supported by a Documentation and Exhibition Grant from the Ford Family Foundation. The exhibition runs from December 2019 – January 2020.
The Art + Design Office (LA 254) will be closed for winter break from December 23rd through 27th.
We will reopen on Monday, December 30th with normal business hours. Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season!

The School of Music and Dance (SOMD) organized the event in collaboration with the on-campus Music Industry Collective (MIC), a student-led club from the Lundquist College of Business.

The unique landscape of the Greek islands and the multilayered city of Athens provide the setting for this intensive three-week studio art course. Through a series of lectures, fieldwork, daily excursions to archaeological sites and museums, contemporary galleries and engagement with land and sea, students will have the opportunity to weave their experience of place and consideration of history and art into the practice of making art. Our methods will be interdisciplinary and open to various modes of expression, which might include but are not limited to, drawing and painting, text, performance, photography, sound and video.
