he Florence Events Center’s
Gallery One is hosting a two-
month exhibit featuring the
artwork of four members of the
Yachats Art Guild, which continues
through August.
Participating artists are Claire
Good, Carol Summers, Jowanna
Gosselin and Nina Toepher.
Founded in 2008, the Guild is
open to fine artists from the
Central Oregon Coast.
Membership has varied between
18 and 32 artists, working in
watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, col-
ored pencil, pen and ink, photog-
raphy and woodworking.
As charter member Carol
Summers said, “The friends of the
Yachats Commons gifted the Guild
with hanging rods for the walls,
enabling the Guild to hang art pro-
fessionally. With the support of the
City of Yachats, and the Friends of
the Commons, the Guild continues
to grow.”
