Hello!
Winter is an exciting time of year at Art Center East. Our annual open exhibit, The Big, kicks
things off on December 6 with work by local & regional artists, where we’ll do the final drawing
for our Raffle Extravaganza. Make your holiday gifts in one of our make-&-take classes (such
as a fused glass bottle stopper or a gemstone healing bracelet) or dazzle your guests with new
culinary skills (a la cheesescaping or handmade ravioli). Our Gift Gallery will be open for
extended hours on December 14 for our Holiday Open House (8 am - 4 pm) and the week of
December 16-20 - shop and sip on a complimentary glass of wine until 6:00 pm all week long.
We’ll start 2020 with a fresh take on fiber arts with our 4th Annual Fiber Arts and Jewelry
Exhibit: Farmers Markets in Fiber. Artists will use images from local farmers markets to inspire
their work, and the image will be displayed next to the final piece to show the artistic process and
celebrate the bounty of our local farmers.
The Big Read returns to Union County in February and March. Join in the fun of this
community event by reading the selected title, discussing it in book groups or one of our
community book discussions, and look out for related classes and events in Union and Wallowa
counties. Find out more on p. 9.
