The Florence Events
Center (FEC) Gallery
Committee invites artists
to submit artwork, includ-
ing 3-D and photography,
for an October “Odd-
Umm” exhibit that is both
seasonal and unusual.
Fall lends itself to great
artistic opportunities, in-
cluding beautiful autumn
colors, the fall harvest, and
wildlife preparing for win-
ter as well as scarecrows,
ghosts in anticipation of
Halloween.
Applications are avail-
able by visiting the FEC
website at EventCenter.org
or pick one up at the FEC
office during regular busi-
ness hours.
Cost is $20 per rod for
up to three pieces (de-
pending on size of art piec-
es), or up to three pieces of
3-D art for display in the
glass case.
Application deadline for
submissions is August 20.
The community is invit-
ed to attend the Artist Re-
ception on Friday, Sept. 13,
from 5 to 7 p.m.

The weekend also offers
the free Florence Regional

Festival — a show and sale
with demonstrations by
more than 20 renowned lo-
cal and regional artists and
craftspeople with two- and
three-dimensional art, per-
sonal care items, edibles,
and adult potables.
New this year will be

Free, dedicated onsite
jamming space is available

urday and Sunday.
The musical lineup in-
cludes festival headliner
Livingston Taylor, who
blends a range of musical

upbeat storytelling and hit
songs he’s written for his
brother James.
Bluegrass Friday features
Canadian mandolin master
John Reischman and the
Jaybirds, and Grammy and
IBMA award-winner Kathy
Kallick with her band.

the multi-award-winning
countr y/folk/bluegrass
music of the Greg Blake
Band.
Saturday evening’s open-
ing act (7 p.m.) is Circus
No. 9, a hot new band that
represents everything that’s
good about the new gen-
eration of acoustic music,
blurring the lines between
bluegrass, jazz, and rock —
followed by headliner Liv-
ingston Taylor at 8:30 p.m.
Sunday afternoon brings
the wildly creative Ty-
ler Stenson, twice-named
Portland’s performer-song-
writer of the year, with his
“elegant folk” as heard on
SiriusXM’s Coffee House,
followed by festival favor-
ite True North’s Kristen
Grainger and Dan Wetzel.
