A CELEBRATION OF OREGON SCHOOL OF ARTS’ STUDENTS, INSTRUCTORS & VOLUNTEERS
Every work of art is a process - the end result of trial and error, unexpected discoveries, and the collaboration of maker and materials. Artmaking is a lifelong pursuit, an inquiry whose answers only lead to more questions. At OSA students, instructors, and community members show up week after week to engage in the process and practice of making art. This exhibition highlights the creativity and dedication of the students, instructors and volunteers who gather at OSA to develop their skills, learn new techniques, and exchange ideas. The Student, Instructor, and Volunteer show is open to all students, instructors, and volunteers of OSA who have been active in the last year, and work is accepted in all media, subject matter, and styles of art.

This show seeks to give a forum to artists who do not attempt to present an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead uses shapes, colors, forms and gestural marks to achieve the desired effects.
There may or may not be recognizable objects represented in the art work, but accurate depiction is not the avenue by which the artist seeks to achieve their goals.
