Art & Wine evening returns to Kerby with gallery opening
The quarterly Evening of
Art & Wine in Kerby will
return to Illinois Valley on
Friday, April 24, beginning at
5 p.m. with two special addi-
tions:
*A celebration marking
the reopening of Southern
Oregon Guild’s Gallery &
Artists’ Center at RCC’s
Business & Entrepreneural
Center.
*A new raffle program
that will offer potentially
eight free opportunities to win
valuable prizes during the
four Kerby Evenings of 2009.
To begin the evening on
Friday, visitors can enjoy the
wide variety of artwork now
on exhibit at the Guild Gal-
lery in the bright, airy addi-
tion to the RCC building
across from Kerby Mart
(formerly Joe’s Market).
The guild is anchor ten-
ant in the new Business &
Entrepreneurial Center re-
cently added to the Kerby
Belt Bldg. by Rogue Com-
munity College. The ingen-
ious design of the gallery
display units allows the floor
in the addition to be cleared
for gatherings and confer-
ences related to business de-
velopment in the region.
While at the guild site,
visitors can pick up a rack
card that serves as a map to
the evening’s attractions and,
if fully signed by Kerby mer-
chants on the tour, an oppor-
tunity to win a major prize at
the end of the year. More
tickets will be available dur-
ing the year, but at a cost.
This one will be free when
you return your signed card.
Attendees might also
want to purchase raffle tickets
for the evening’s raffle of fine
art and crafts, and sample
Windridge wines and the
guild’s hors d’oeuvres buffet.
Walking north on the
east side of the street, you
will find the Kerbyville Mu-
seum open. To take you back
to the early days of white
settlement in the Illinois Val-
ley, the museum has a new
exhibit of early mining and
railroad logging.
A bit farther, Harvey and
Joy Shinerock’s It’s a Burl
gallery and grounds will be
open for you to examine both
the raw materials and the ex-
ceptional craftsmanship and
beauty of burl art.
At the north end of town
on the west side of the street
is Yanase Jewelers, the studio
of Michael & Karen Yanase.
Diamond is April gemstone
of the month, and the
Yanases’ custom designs for
the event will feature this
precious symbol of love and
permanence. They also will
pour nonalcoholic wines from
Draper Valley Vineyard.
Dale DeVorss Kerbyville
Farm next door to the south
will offer homemade pies and
pastries.
A little farther south, the
nationally renowned pole
furniture and accessories at
Kauffman Wood Products
will set the stage for valley
musician and songwriter,
Libby Goines. She will per-
form her unique blend of Jazz
and Folk music on guitar and
piano. Co-owners Delbert &
Helen Kauffman will pour
wine from Bridgeview Vine-
yards Winery.
Back at the south end of
the tour with your card, you
will find Fred & Gabrielle
Hampton at Hampton’s Rock
Shop, across from the RCC
building.
The Hamptons will be
featuring petrified wood
specimens and fabricated
petrified wood jewelry for
this event. In addition, Jackie
Henry-Ross, new owner of
Kerby Mart, will perform
Spanish classical music on
acoustic guitar.
Henry-Ross started play-
Oregon arts to benefit from NEA grant funds
The National Endow-
ment for the Arts has an-
nounced $19.8 million in
one-time grants under the
American Recovery & Rein-
vestment Act of 2009
(Recovery Act) to state arts
agencies and regional arts
organizations to support the
arts sector of the economy.
The Oregon Arts Com-
mission will receive
$307,600. It will “regrant” to
Oregon arts organizations to
preserve jobs in the arts that
are threatened or have been
recently eliminated due to the
economic downturn.
“Jobs in the arts are a
vital part of Oregon’s creative
economy,” said Gov. Kulon-
goski. “Nonprofit arts or-
ganizations employ artists,
directors, managers, techni-
cians, designers and workers
in a variety of trades. They’ve
helped brand Oregon as a
state where creativity and
innovation are important to
all sectors of the economy.”
Commented Christine
D'Arcy, Arts Commission
executive director, “We’re
pleased the arts are recog-
nized in the Recovery Act.
These one-time grants will
help preserve up to 25 jobs,
helping arts nonprofits
weather the current economic
storm.
“Those jobs will support
arts organizations as they
continue to offer high-quality
programs to Oregonians and
bring visitors to the state.
The economic stimulus plan
acknowledges the role that
the arts play in state and na-
tional recovery, employing
artists and arts administrators
in this difficult time.
“This is a good example
of ‘The Oregon Way’ for
recovery,” she added, citing
the state’s coordinated ap-
proach for stimulus activity
focused on pioneering, green
and creative investments.
The Arts Commission
will invest recovery funds in
projects that assist arts or-
ganizations in retaining criti-
cal staff. Oregon Arts Stimu-
lus Grant guidelines are
