A new exhibition called “Varied Perspectives” featuring the work of Yachats Arts Guild will be on display in the Newport Visual Arts Center’s Runyan Gallery from Friday, Oct. 13 through Nov. 26.
The artist members of Yachats Arts Guild work in a wide variety of mediums – and that’s the theme of their new exhibition. Illustration, glass work, collage, photography, oils, acrylics, watercolors will be on display in the VAC’s first floor gallery. And while guild members may not all express their art in a similar form, they share a common desire to “come together to showcase the beauty and varied talents of the local artists along the Oregon Coast,” according to their website
What began with a meeting of just a few artists in 2007 has blossomed into a guild that now boasts upwards of 40 members. Their purpose? To promote and support the arts, provide local artists an opportunity to show and sell their work, expand artistic ability, and enrich the community through the arts.
“Their goals are in excellent alignment with those of the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts,” said Chasse Davidson, director of the Newport Visual Arts Center. “We’re excited to showcase the work of these talented local artists …”
An opening reception is scheduled from 4-7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13. Exhibits at Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 N.W. Beach Drive, are free to the public and can be viewed most noon to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. For more information, visit the art center website.
