A GRANDE — Nightingale
Gallery at Eastern Oregon
University will close out its 2021-
22 exhibition season with the an-
nual All-Campus Juried Student
Exhibition featuring work by EOU
students from a variety of disci-
plines and monetary awards for
selected student pieces.
“It’s the All-Campus Juried
Student Exhibition, so any cur-
rently enrolled students can
submit pieces. They don’t have
to be art majors or minors, and
the art could have been made
at home and have nothing to do
with EOU,” said Gallery Director
Cory Peeke.
The exhibition opens with
a reception on Friday, May 13,
5-7 p.m. Awards will be present-
ed at 5:45 p.m. The show runs
through June 10.
The juror this year is Oregon
artist and writer Bean Gilsdorf.
Her projects have been exhibited
at the Museum of Contemporary
Art Santa Barbara, the Wattis
Institute for Contemporary Arts
and the American Textile History
Museum, as well as exhibition
spaces in Poland, England, Italy,
China and South Africa.
“Last year because of COVID
we weren’t having people visit
campus from off -campus so we
didn’t have a juror and the art
program juried it themselves,”
Peeke said. “Usually we invite a
dignitary of some prominence.
(Gilsdorf) will jury the show, but
then she’ll also do critiques with
upper division art majors one-
on-one about their artwork. So
it’s a way for our students to get
feedback on their work.”
In addition to choosing the
works to include in the exhibit,
Gilsdorf will select several works
to be recognized with monetary
awards. Also, EOU faculty will
present the 12th annual Kathe-
lene Galloway Memorial Scholar-
ship and 13th annual Joseph
Dickerson Memorial Award.
The Kathelene Galloway
Memorial Scholarship is a
$1,000 award presented to a
sophomore or junior level art
major who exhibits exemplary
technical and conceptual skill.
The award is made in memory of
Kathelene Galloway, a professor
of printmaking and drawing at
EOU, who passed away sud-
denly in December 2009.
“She was a passionate advo-
cate for her students, art, artists
and EOU. She lived to share
knowledge and the wonder that
comes with discovery. Galloway
exemplifi ed the excellence to
which we encourage our stu-
dents to endeavor,” Peeke said.
The Joseph Dickerson Me-
morial Award is in memory of
Joe Dickerson, an EOU fresh-
man tragically killed in a 2009
auto accident. Following the
loss of their son, Joe’s par-
ents, Doug and Kyla Dickerson,
made a gift of funds to the EOU
art program.
“Joe was a model student
whose creative energy and
enthusiasm for learning was in-
fectious,” Peeke said. “In light of
this the EOU art program chose
to use the funds so generously
given by the Dickerson family to
endow an award in their son’s
name to be presented annu-
ally to a student who the art
faculty feels best exemplifi es
Joe’s dedication, curiosity and
creative spirit.”
The Nightingale Gallery is
located in Loso Hall on the
campus of EOU. Gallery hours
are 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday to
Friday. For more information,
