Art students enroll in ‘Real Life KM’
Their art galleries
will open tonight
By Layne Lakefish
Emerald Entertainment Editor
They say that out-of-class ex
periences top all. So, how does
opening two art galleries
sound?
It sounded great to two Uni
versity students, who went
ahead with the project. Now
they're businessmen — the pro
prietors of two downtown con
temporary art galleries.
On campus they're known as
seniors William White and
Shan Anderson. White is clas
sified as an arts major and An
derson is a bachelor of fine arts
student.
Hut in town, call them own
ers and curators.
Tonight is the big night, the
debut. Tonight Metro Arts and
the Win. White Gallery will cel
ebrate their grand openings
from 6 to 9 p.m. at -t-l W.
Broadway.
The galleries, said the own
ers. are very contemporary and
w ill fill a niche currently miss
ing in Eugene
“We’re doing stuff a lot dif
ferent." White said. “These are
different from most galleries
because there are more origi
nals. paintings and one-of-a
kinds.
“We have a range of art work
as well as style and affordabili
ty." he said.
“Most of our works are origi
nals, and they're more fun and
livelier." Anderson said. “I
think there's a lot more aware

ness of this stuff in Eugene
now."
The businessmen involved in
these endeavors can't wait for
the grand opening, but the stu
dents behind the businessmen
have another story to tell
"This is accelerated grad
school," White said. Anderson
called the business venture
"Real l.ife 101."
"It ended up being less ex
pensive than I thought through
the process of doing it our
selves." White said “When we
started with the gallery spaces,
the colors were orange and avo
cado."
Needless to say. White and
Anderson strived to make the
galleries’ atmospheres more
pleasing.
"It was a lot of hard work."
Anderson said. "But the nice
thing is realizing that I might
be able to create something
here in Eugene for myself "
On the other hand. Anderson
has gotten something different
out of the project "For me, it
was being able to set out on a
venture that was risky
"It’s also important to me to
be able to do non-profit
shows," he said, referring to
non-profit shows the two gal
leries are planning to exhibit
after the first of the year
Hut for now. White anil An
derson are focusing all their en
ergy on tonight and the galler
ies’ opening exhibits.

tion will feature the works of
