No, seriously, when? The Maude Kerns Art Center is hosting an art show where the theme begs the question to be answered. The name of the show, If Not Now, When? was chosen in part by local artist Tim Boyden, who brought together a group of artists that also includes Jud Turner, Ila Rose and Michael Whitenack (art pictured). Boyden felt he wanted to “get like-minded people together in these times, and get a sense of urgency about our world.” The exhibit’s message is about artistic collaboration and positive outlooks for the future. Through art, they wish to “Heal the divisions and bring people with different visions together, for a better future for all.” Sarah Ciampa, the exhibits coordinator at Maude Kerns, says, “I think the art is fantastic. I’m very inspired by it. It’s some of the best work by some of the best artists that Eugene has.” If Not Now, When? at Maude Kerns, 1910 E. 15th Avenue, runs through Feb. 12. Gallery hours are 10 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday and noon to 4 pm Saturday. Due to COVID, Maude Kerns prefers you make an appointment online to view the art at MKArtCenter.org; drop-ins are allowed only if there is space. — Chandlor Henderson GENERAL LISTINGS ARE FREE UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ART EXHIBITS "If Not Now, When?"

The aim of Dear Stranger is to create shared understanding among Oregonians with different backgrounds, experiences and beliefs. The premise is simple: Write a letter, get a letter and make a new connection. Oregon Humanities has operated Dear Stranger since 2014. This winter’s prompt for writers is about food: “How has your relationship with food — what you eat and how you get it — changed over the past year? What is a favorite meal of yours, and when is your first memory of that meal?” Prompts for writing and instructions for participation are available at OregonHumanities.org. Letters are swapped anony- mously, and each person re- ceives a letter from the per- son who received the one they wrote. What happens next is up to the writers. If they’d like to write back, they can do so through Oregon Humanities. Letters should be addressed to Ore- gon Humanities, Attn: Dear Stranger, 921 SW Washing- ton St., Suite 150, Portland, Oregon, 97205. Oregon Humanities will exchange letters mailed by Feb. 28, 2021.
