Pre-Owned Art Sale to benefit Library
Friends of the Sisters
Library (FOSL) wants to help
you recycle your artwork. You
know — the framed print your
great-aunt gave your sister,
who passed it on to you when
she moved? The artwork that’s
too fine to just toss away, but
not quite gallery-ready, or just
doesn’t fit with the new wall
colors.
The FOSL Annual Pre-
Owned Art Sale will be held
this coming Saturday and
Sunday at Sisters Library.
Drop off your art to sell at
the library Saturday, July 28,
between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
The art sale is Sunday, also
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the
library. Donations of art in
any media are acceptable,
except for large-sized quilts.
Small wall-hanging quilts are
acceptable.
“We made a little over
$2,000 last year,” said Linda
Davis, chair of the art sale for
FOSL. “Finding a good home
for good art is important,”
Davis said. But just as impor-
tant is raising funds for the
library. All purchases must be
made by cash or check, pay-
able to FOSL. The value of
donations is tax-deductible.
This annual event is a good
place to get bargains on some
very high-quality art pieces.
Even though the sale starts at
10 a.m., the last hour, between
2 and 3 p.m., everything will
be half-price. “If you come
in the morning and see some-
thing you like and want to take
a chance on it still being there
later, you can come back at 2
and get it at half-price,” Davis
said.
This is a once-a-year pop-
up art sale, a chance to depop-
ulate your overly filled walls,
the art in the attic, the painting
your mother loved (but you
don’t).
It’s also a chance to find a
perfect piece of artwork that’s
still in “just fine” condition,
to fill that blank spot in your
vacation or rental home.
“Last year, I found an abso-
lutely lovely small painting
by Sisters Artist Pam Jersey
Bird,” said Helen Schmidling,
manager of Sisters Gallery
& Frame Shop. “I’ve always
loved Pam’s art, but I never
could afford one. I just love
this very special painting.”
Pam Bird, one of Sisters’
most beloved artists, passed
away on December 7 last year.
Donations may be made
contingent on resale, but
donors should advise volun-
teers of this contingency. If

year’s event — can be found at the FOSL Pre-Owned Art Sale event.

Police arrested Alexander
J. Walton of Sisters early
Tuesday morning on an out-
standing attempted mur-
der warrant issued out of
Multnomah County.
According to the
Deschutes County Sheriff’s
Office, DCSO detectives,
DCSO SWAT Team and
Portland Police Bureau detec-
tives arrested Walton, 45, as
he exited a vehicle at about 5
a.m., July 17, near the inter-
section of E. Cascade Ave.
and N. Fir Street in Sisters.
The arrest came after
the Portland Police Bureau
reportedly contacted DCSO
late last week and asked for
assistance in locating and
arresting Walton. Detectives
used surveillance and other
investigative techniques to
determine that Walton was
living in the Sisters area and
to establish a plan to safely
take him into custody.
Walton was lodged in
the Deschutes County Jail.
Walton faces no charges in
Deschutes County and will
be transported to Multnomah
County. He is being held on
$510,000 bail.
