1st Annual Mayor's Invitational Art Show This first year will be a showing of paintings, featuring all Willamette Valley artists. The artists' works will be on display at the conference center for one year, and will be followed annually by additional art shows. From the 32 invitations that were sent out to local artists, we received a remarkable 100% participation! The goal is to build a permanent collection of art at the conference center, both to showcase Oregon artists and to promote the area. Through sponsorships, there will be a Mayor's Purchase Award that will put a work of art from each show into the Conference Center permanently. If you are interested in participating as a sponsor, please contact Chrissie Bertsch, General Manager at 503-779-1405. |
