Friday, October 27 from 4 to
7 p.m. Be sure to sign up for
this month’s Quick Draw,
a certificate for $100 from

Raven Makes Gallery
welcomes three Zuni Pueblo
artists for the fourth Friday
weekend. Jayne Quam, Kandis
Quam, and Elroy Natachu, Jr.,
stone carvers and painters,
are bringing new works from
their studios in New Mexico,
reflecting their culture and
traditions.
Twigs features “Pathways”
from Central Oregon Studio
Art Quilt Association
(SAQA). “Pathways as a road-
map to artistic expression” is
the theme of SAQA’s 2017
show and exhibit. Fiber artists
explore literal maps, circum-
navigations, explorations and
fictional trails. The art quilts
are abstract and representa-
tional, appliquéd and pieced,
embellished and painted,
machine stitched and hand-
quilted. In addition to theme,
size is the unifying trait. All of
the quilts are either 18 by 40

inches or 40 by 18 inches.
Photographer Lisa Belt’s
work will be featured at
Gary Cooley’s Collection
Gallery. Belt’s photograph
“Suspended” was selected
and published on National
Geographic’s “Daily Dozen.”
More than 12,000 photos are
submitted each day to the
National Geographic website,
of which 12 are chosen by the
photo editors for publication.
Photographs with the most
votes are considered for pos-
sible publication in a future
issue of National Geographic
Magazine.
Hood Avenue Art features
colorful abstractions by pastel
painter JoAnn Burgess, with
an emphasis on light and tex-
ture; and figurative sculpture,
inspired by memory, move-
ment and time by Breezy
Anderson. There will also be
live music.
Sisters Gallery & Frame
Shop will feature brand-new
acrylic pours by Candice
Bruguier. The original paint-
ings are abstract – no two
alike – and some are enhanced
by the addition of a wild ani-
mal or landscape as suggested
by the nature of the pour. The
gallery also has new work
by some of its gallery artists:
Carol Grigg, Curtiss Abbott,
Jodi Schneider, Jennifer
Hartwig, Ann Grossnickle,
and at least six of Dennis
McGregor’s “You Stole My
Name” original paintings.

Scott will display several new
works in his “Steampunk”
genre. Other artists will fea-
ture new paintings in water-
colors, oils and acrylics, fused
stained-glass scenery, raku
pots and vases, clay birdbaths
and lamps, chandeliers, garden
lights and scenery in metal.

Resale’s featured artists are
Marlene Hasler, needle weav-
ing; Kate Aspen, red necklace
series; Tumbleweeds, furni-
ture and décor; Jill Stanford,
