SIUSLAW NEWS | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 2018 | 11A Backstreet Gallery celebrates 13 years this Saturday “No one could imagine 13 years ago when several artists met at a former bakery in Florence, Ore., that Backstreet Gallery would be so successful,” said Meredith Draper, president of the gallery. “The result was something new in galleries for Florence.” Backstreet Gallery, located at 1421 Bay St. in Historic Old Town Florence, is an artist co-operative and has been that way for the past 13 years. All the artist/members share the work to manage the co-op as a place to show and market their art. Many members, past and present, have worked together to make Backstreet Gallery one of the best galleries in the Northwest. The founding members began the gallery with passion, perseverance and vision, which attracted new talents and made it what it is today. “Because a number of creative people designed this business, they not only have benefitted themselves but also the community,” Draper said. “It is a place where art can be enjoyed and shared by all who come to visit. Backstreet attracts not only locals, but examining the guest book is like a trip around the world.” As a work in progress, every day members discover new ways to make the gallery more engaging. The community is invited to join members on Saturday, June 9, from 3 to 5 p.m., for the Backstreet Birthday Cel- ebration. This is in conjunction with the Annual Community Challenge Show, ‘Bots and Beguiling Beings; a special showing of work by Karmen Trebolo, Siuslaw High School recipient of a $500 art scholarship awarded by the gallery; and the 2nd Saturday Gallery Tour. There will be refresh- ments and live music by Denny Weaver. “There are all sorts of reasons to stop by on June 9, and many more to stop in anytime,” Draper said. Backstreet Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. For more information, visit backstreetgallery.org. SHS students awarded $230,000 in scholarships Once again, the greater Flor- ence community came out to support local students and their educational aspirations. On May 24, local community groups and organizations awarded $232,450 in local scholarships to 50 grad- uating seniors to attend college, community college or other ca- reer training programs. “Scholarship Night is as much a tribute to our community as it is to the commitment of our students as they strive to achieve their goals and make the world a better place for all in the future,” said Siuslaw School District Su- perintendent Andy Grzeskowiak. Siuslaw High School acknowl- edged both the student awardees and the generosity of the orga- nizations that made scholar- ship night the success that it has grown to become over the years. • Ada Grange Harley Huff Senior Memorial Scholarship ($500) — Kyle King, Maxine Jones and Richard Huff • Amy Nicole Memorial Schol- arship ($500) — Justine Buch- holz, Alexis Curtis and Alexis Martin • Arnn Family Focus Scholar- ship ($6,000) — Richard Huff • Backstreet Gallery Visual Arts Scholarship ($500) — Kar- men Trebolo • Boys & Girls Club of West- ern Lane County John & Patricia Hardison Scholarship ($2,000) — Karmen Trebolo and Alyssa Hunter • Central Oregon Coast Board of Realtors Scholarship ($1,000) Alyssa Hunter • CROW Scholarship ($250) — Kyle King • Daughters of the American Revolution Scholarship ($500) — Rosa Sanchez • Delta Gamma ESA Andrea Wright Scholarship ($1,000) — Edison Mielke • Delta Gamma ESA Tammy Nivens Scholarship ($1,000) — Kaylee Graham • Elks Lodge National Founda- tion Scholarship ($2,900) — Jor- dan Northrop • Elks Rowdy Row Scholarship ($1,000) — Emma Collins and Ireland Bloking • Florence Area Community Coalition Scholarship ($500) — Jared Brandt • Florence Community PTA Scholarship ($1,000) — Jared Brandt and Hayleigh Middleton • Florence Community PTA Scholarship ($500) — Zoe Gon- zaga and Evan Teter • Florence Lions Club Scholar- ship ($500) — Justine Buchholz and Zoe Gonzaga • Florence Masonic Lodge Scholarship ($1,000) — Noah Lockwood, Jared Brandt and Kat- lin Meskimen • Garden Club Scholarship ($1,000) – KC Tatum and Jared Brandt • Genevieve Bailey Memorial Scholarship ($500) — Hayleigh Middleton Eugene Foot and Ankle Health Center Podiatric Physicians & Surgeons From routine checkups to treatments for surgery, Eugene Foot and Ankle Health Center is equipped to handle all your podiatric needs.
