Kamome Festival Art Exhibit - Call for Artists

We are searching for visual artists (can include sculpture) for the upcoming Kamome Festival in April. The event committee loves the idea of incorporating art around themes that tie in with the festival - such as friendship, the ocean, boats, fishing, and of course Kamome (Japanese for seagulls). We know this is a short timeframe, so we are keeping the theme broad on purpose, and it is ok to submit artwork that has not been created specifically for this event. There is no entry fee, but we will be screening the works before accepting them. 

If you aren’t familiar with Kamome and its significance to our community, please scan the QR code on the flyer, and it will take you to the Chamber’s webpage on the topic.

If you would like to participate, please forward photos of your work to office@dnaca.net, with information on how large each piece is.

Reception for Fiber Arts Show at Manley Art Center

Manley Art Center announces the opening reception for the February Art Exhibit, held Saturday, February 11th, 2023, from 3 to 6 PM at The Manley Art Center, located at 433 Oak Street in Brookings, Oregon.

The exhibit, on display from February 7th through March 4th, showcases a diverse collection of fiber art produced by its fiber artists members and the local weaving group, Webfoot Weavers.

From the ubiquitous knitted dish towel to the gossamer-painted silk scarf, fiber and textiles have been used by humans for eons. The fiber artists featured in this month's exhibit explore their creativity through silk painting, weaving, knitting, crocheting, felting, and quilting. This collaborative show displays work from novices to masters, wearable art to decorative accessories.

The goal of this exhibit is to present to the public the variety of fiber art disciplines. “We hope to open up the viewer’s imagination to all the possible ways working with fibers can ignite creativity,” says Manley Art Director Stacey Reynolds. The artists whose works are included in this exhibit bring a high level of technical expertise and a willingness to share their knowledge and the joy they take in creating.

The rest of the exhibit features a  variety of art created by the Manley Art Center members. Proceeds from the sale of artwork are shared between the artists and the Manley Art Center. The Manley uses its portion to further its mission to promote, through education, the appreciation, distribution, and enjoyment of fine arts and crafts.
