N
ow that he is 79 years old, process art
founder and area resident Kyle Lind is pre-
paring to retire. A retrospective of his work
will be showing at Mindpower Gallery in
Reedsport until Aug. 22. Hundreds of people
attended the show’s opening reception on
July 26. “This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime
show,” said gallery co-owner and show curator
Tamara Szalewski. “You will not see something
like this put together again for a very long
time. So many people who came to the recep-
tion said they will be back to see the artwork
when it’s a little less crowded and they can
take the time to really look at the incredible
work.” The Kyle Lind Retrospective Art Show takes place at the Mindpower Gallery, 417 Fir Ave. in
Reedsport. For more information, visit the gallery’s Facebook page or call 541-271-2485.
