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
