Acclaimed architect John Yeon subject of Portland exhibition PORTLAND — The Portland Art Museum has launched an exhibition of the work of John Yeon, a celebrated Pacific Northwest architect, planner, environmentalist and historic preservationist. At age 21, Yeon, who died in 1994, borrowed on a life insurance poli- cy to purchase Chapman Point south of Ecola State Park and thereby preserve a beloved section of the coastline. The exhibition, titled “Quest for Beauty: The Ar- chitecture, Landscapes, and Collections of John Yeon,” opened May 13. “Yeon is most widely remembered as an architect, in particular for a series of innovative houses — most prominently, the 1937 Au- brey Watzek House — that drew an international spot- light to regional modernism in the Pacific Northwest,” the museum wrote. Beaver art comes to Astoria Art Loft ASTORIA — Following May’s “Beaver Tales” art ex- hibit in Seaside, the Astoria Art Loft will open an art ex- hibit Tuesday, June 6, about beavers and their place in the natural environment. From 5 to 8 p.m. June 10, during Astoria’s Sec- ond Saturday Art Walk, Jo Pomeroy-Crockett, the loft’s co-owner, said she “expects to have one or more speak- ers on hand to talk about the artwork and about beavers’ contributions to the coastal landscape,” organizers said. Before the art walk, from 1 to 4 p.m., the loft will cel- ebrate the show’s opening. A portion of the proceeds from sales of work in the beaver art show — which features work by adults and children — will benefit the North Coast Land Conservancy. The gallery (106 Third St.) is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
