Art from Shannon Knight’s
“Service Ceiling”
Although the sun may not be shining on this last Friday of
the month, Eugene’s artists most defi nitely will be. There are
more than a few galleries set to keep art-walkers in stride.
Zdreams will be premiering the vibrant digital and
psychedelic work of Ron LaFond, at his show “Visionary
Computer Art Prints.” And practically next door, at
Territorial Vineyards, you’ll want to stop in and check out the
“Autist Artism” exhibit as well as live music by Manouche
Noir. The wine is well worth sticking around for, but if you’re
still hot to trot, The Eugene Whiteaker International Hostel
will be hosting the multi-medium aesthetics of the artist
Manium, in a show entitled “Springly.” If beer is more your
style, the Ninkasi Tasting Room features “Service Ceiling,”
mixed media by Shannon Knight.
