 Judith Falconer
The Peculiar Penguin
It is an honor to have Judith Falconer present "THE PECULIAR PENGUIN" as
our feature for November. "There are 17 species of Penguin, I will cover about
seven in this show. I relate to these birds as many people do for the similarities
they have with people." Judith is well known for the many public art works she
has created.
Also, the gallery is excited to present new work from the ever
creative (sometimes funny and at times a quirky seriousness) mind of Georgia
Lara-Lunch. "Art is a profound passion for me, it is my best friend." Her three
dimensional work comes from recycled, reclaimed and remembered materials.
Both artists will be present First Friday 6-9.

 Michele Obrien
Wildlife Paintings
Happy Fall fellow Grants Passians! We are bundled up and serving the finest
warm and cozy drinks for you.Come see this months showcase of talented local
artists and musicians.
Featured on the walls... Michele Obrien - Wildlife Paintings, and
Rogue Winterfest: featuring clients of Family Solutions, Kairos, and Options for
Southern Oregon. This art is created by individuals struggling with mental illness
often have difficulty expressing themselves in words. Visual art provides the
opportunity for expression without having to use language. Clients benefit from
the mere act of expression, deriving a sense of competence, self worth, and
at times relief as they put forward thoughts and feelings through their art in a
way that is safe and healing. Additionally, trained therapists can help the client
discuss their expression and put words to what is represented by their piece.
Art can be especially powerful for children, who due to their challenges haven’t
developed cognitive or language skills.
Music will be our very own "3 Little
Birds." featuring Aliana De Victoria on Guitar and Vocals, Victor Cheymouni on
Percussion and Antonio Melendez on Guitar, Flute, Melodica and Vocals. Don’t
miss this great trio of fun and uplifting music... Music from 6-9pm
