DECEMBER 21, 2017 // 17 Artists wanted, exhibits planned for Arts Association in 2018 CANNON BEACH — Exciting things are hap- pening at the Cannon Beach Arts Associa- tion in 2018. We’re expanding our programming to include more workshops, adding music to Summer Art Camp, increasing grant oppor- tunities for visual and performing artists, and doubling our exhibit opportunities. In 2018, gallery exhibitions will feature North Coast artists and will highlight themes such as landscapes, emotion and light. For a full listing of the shows, visit our website or sign up to receive invitations by mail. We’re also piloting a new project to increase artistic opportunities and represen- tation in the gallery with three-day pop-up shows that will focus on themes of identity, heritage, environmental awareness and culture. Each show will feature works from select artists and will be shown on movable panels in the gallery. The goal of this program is to increase awareness of locally relevant social issues and increase access to community spaces. ‘3 Squared: Line, Light, Layers’ FACEBOOK.COM Cannon Beach Gallery Come to the Gallery in January for a three-person exhibit of works from Jani Hoberg, Lisa Wiser and Jan Rimerman. The show runs Wednesday, Jan. 3, to Sunday, Feb. 18, with a reception 6 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan 13. The exhibit, titled “3 Squared: Line, Light, Layers,” expresses the artistic soul connection among the women, who grew up together as children. After the artists di- verged on individual artistic pathways, they came back together as mature artists, relying on each other for artistic field trips, truthful opinions and undying support. They will be teaching a mixed-media workshop at the Cannon Beach History Cen- ter & Museum. Visit our website at cannon- beacharts.org for times and cost.
