For the fi rst time in several
months, the community is invited
to view art in person at local gal-
leries.
There are, however, new safety
precautions due to the coronavirus
pandemic.
Crossroads Carnegie Art Center
welcomes Michael Schlicting and
his works depicting the annual
salmon run. The show, titled “In
From the Deep,” opens Friday, June
5, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Visitors
are encouraged to stop by through-
out the day to avoid large crowds.
Please take note of the new enter
and exit plan to minimize contact.
“We apologize for any inconve-
nience this may cause,” said Ginger
Savage, executive director. “Our
intention is to provide a safe and
healthy opportunity for all guests
to Crossroads.”
Growing up on the Oregon coast
allowed Schlicting to witness the
life cycle of salmon.
“A modest little creek ran
through the farm where I grew
up on the Oregon coast,” he
said. “There was a nice fall run
of salmon, pink and red as they
made their way up the riffl es and
deep pools of the creek to spawn.
Afterward, their decaying carcasses
were found tangled in the creek
side brush and beached on every
gravel bar. These images have
stayed with me over the years and
have been the inspiration for this
series of paintings. The shapes,
color and movement of the fi sh are
the departure point for these intui-
tive compositional explorations.”
Ace Nursery is sponsoring the
June show. Guests will be entered
into a drawing for a $25 gift certifi -
cate to Eagle Cap Grill. If weather
allows, check out the Chandler
Family Courtyard to view outdoor
sculptures and garden art.
Throughout June, patrons are in-
