undergoing a transformation — a
marriage of art and real life. Hous
ton said he strives to present art
that makes visitors think.
“Basically, the gallery is chang
ing a whole lot from what it used
to be,” he said. “What I’m inter
ested in is bringing situations, is
sues and things from outside into
the gallery space.”
Criterion’s simple design and
white walls leave the small gallery
open and light-filled. Its current
exhibits include Mike Catlin’s “Re
flections,” a collection of multiple
image photographs featuring local
shop windows and their reflec
tions. Criterion also offers several
vintage Japanese animation cells,
many with their original drawings
tucked into envelopes on the
back. Houston’s own work is on
display — a Sept. 11-inspired ex
hibit titled “Unease.”
Criteron’s present exhibits will
run until the end of February, and
future plans include a digital pro
jection show incorporating the
Japanese animation, as well as
more photography on the walls.
The gallery is open 11 a.m. to 5
p.m. Tuesday through Thursday.
Jacobs Gallery, located inside the
Hult Center at Seventh Avenue and
Willamette Street, is quiet and
plush, overflowing with a jumble of
eclectic art entitled, “Back By Pop
ular Demand! Artists’ Union & Pro
ject Space: A Reunion Exhibition.”
This display, which reunites a local
artists’ group formed 20 years ago,
leaves the gallery on March 1, and
will be followed by “Elemental: A
Woman’s Life and Her Art,” begin
ning March 7.
Jacobs Gallery was established
in 1983, and volunteer coordina
tor Edith White said the wide ar
ray of different displays, along
with insight programs where
artists explain their creations, of
fers the biggest incentive for peo
ple to visit. Jacobs Gallery’s hours
are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday
through Saturday.
Jacobs Gallery, Criterion Gallery
and White Lotus Gallery provide
enough art to fill an entire day, but
a vast wealth of other galleries
thrive in nearby nooks and cran
nies, with exhibits as diverse as the
spaces themselves. Hopping a bus
