Florence Regional Arts
Alliance (FRAA), 120 Maple
St., is adding a new dimension
to its Gallery and Art Center by
dedicating one gallery wall to
highlight youth art.
The first exhibit displays the
talents of Siuslaw High School
Senior Benjamin Cahoon, who
describes his art style as
“Impressionistic Realism.”
Cahoon incorporates a vari-
ety of natural and urban themes
in his artwork.
“I enjoy trying every medi-
um I can get my hands on,
including charcoal, graphite
acrylic, watercolor, pastels,
mixed media, lino cuts,
scratchboard, photography and
ceramics,” Cahoon said.
He is an award-winning and
published artist who has had
artwork displayed from coast
to coast. He has won first place
two years running at the
Florence Event Center’s “Fresh
Impressions,” exhibit and hon-
orable mention at many other
shows.
Recently, he had the honor
of being selected as a winner of
the
Congressional
Art
Competition. As a winner, he
received a trip to Washington,
D.C. to attend the reception
event, and his art piece, “He
Flies in Silence,” will be dis-
played in the Cannon Tunnel of
the Capitol Building in
Washington, D.C. for the next
year.
The public is invited to come
and view Cahoon’s artwork,
including a wide variety of
ceramic pieces available for
purchase.
