Every month, the town of Toledo takes a weekend to celebrate its arts community and invite the public to join in. First Weekend Art is a monthly opportunity for the public to connect with their local artisans and see what’s new. February’s First Weekend will be held this Saturday and Sunday at all participating locations.
The Yaquina River Museum of Art will be opening its new exhibit — The Founders Celebration. Commemorating 23 years of establishment, the Yaquina River Museum of Art will be showing works of the late founder Michael Gibbons in the Schoolhouse Exhibit Space.
The Yaquina River Museum of Art, located at 151 NE Alder St., will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
At Michael Gibbons’ Signature Gallery, “Grace’s Garden,” an oil shown in a custom gold wood museum-style frame, is a bright verdant piece to inspire the winter-weary as spring rounds the corner. The original oil, painted in 1996, is a testament to the regional flora that define gardens and woodlands by prominently displaying the beauty of the Oregon coast’s rhododendrons.
See this work and more originals at Michael Gibbons’ Signature Gallery located at 140 NE Alder St., open from noon to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. For more information, visit michaelgibbonsart.net or call 541-336-2797.
Crow’s Nest Gallery & Studio will feature the works of many artists. The gallery-space, run by assemblage artist Janet Runger, always features new and exciting works for viewers to see. Veta Bakhtina’s prolific portfolio of works enchants viewers into her world of storied paintings. “The Chapel,” a fine gouache work of a scene in the Balkans (seen right), is demonstrative of her ability to capture the world in vivid color with her trademark elements of folk art.
Also at Crow’s Nest Gallery, Val Bolen will be featuring suncatching glass and ceramic works; Alice Haga, fused glass; Sylvia Hosie, award-winning photography; Paula Teplitz, sculptural jellyfish mobiles; Jeff Gibford, digitally manipulated photographs; Tish Epperson, watercolors; and Susan Jones, woven fiber jellyfish.
Crow’s Nest Gallery & Studio is located at 305 N Main Street and will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
