Cultural ArtsThe City of Auburn art gallery exhibitions for July include stunning photography by artist Judi Kubes on view from June 28th to August 30th at the Cheryl Sallee Gallery. The Community & Event Center Gallery is currently featuring the beautiful texture-focused photography by Jack Straton on view from June 1st through July 13th, followed by unique tin type photography by Zachary Burns. On view at the City Hall Gallery is an exhibition of sculptural and innovative textiles by Oregon artist Lauren Wold on view June 1st through July 13th, followed by mixed media work by artists Amy Britsas and Darrell Honanie. Auburn’s Art on Main window-front gallery is featuring a bold and dynamic installation titled “Forces and Reactions” by talented printmaking artist Christopher Hartshorne. Hartshorne uses woodblock prints to “illustrate turbulent forces, chaos, and expulsions, which conjure connections to the natural processes within biology, chemistry and physics.” Through his bold and expressive prints, the artist seeks to “allude to the immensity of the universe and fictionalize all that exists beyond the limits of our perception… a reminder that the structures, reactions and forces proven to exist by science escape the logic of our immediate senses.” His work will be on display from May 19th through July 31st. Upcoming art classes include: Drawing Without an Eraser with instructor Jan Jensen on Thursdays, July 6, 13 and 20 from 6:30 – 8:00 PM. Also coming up in July is a “Meet the Artist” class with Zachary Burns teaching the unique technique of Pinhole Camera Photography. Sign up now for these great classes!
