November Show at Tumalo Art Co. features Helen Brown
2019-11-01 16:00 - 20:00
“Pixels to Pigments”, Helen Brown’s November show at Tumalo Art Co. features watercolors illustrating how one artist interprets the vision of another artist—a photographer. The show opens during Bend’s First Friday Gallery Walk, November 1, from 4-8pm.
Asking her collectors, friends and family to submit their favorite photos to her to serve as reference for her watercolors, she received over 150 photos from 55 of them. Says Brown, “I was overwhelmed, but excited to choose and get started painting!” Unlike commission work, the photographers are not obligated to purchase the work, just to come and observe her interpretations. “I thought it would be fun to involve other people in the process,” she explained.
She will show up to 15 watercolors depicting landscape, animals, figures and still life. In one painting, she combined two photos into the same scene. “I’m not sure all the photographers will even recognize their photo in my paintings, as I like to change the color scheme and composition to suit my eye.”
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District open 7 days a week. 541-385-9144. tumaloartco.com.

Exhibition Opening: Witness to Wartime: The Painted Diary of Takuichi Fujii
2019-10-19 09:00 - 17:00
During World War II, the U.S. federal government incarcerated 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, about two-thirds of whom were United States citizens. The government used racist propaganda and fear-based arguments to justify their actions. For those who were incarcerated—imprisoned without charge—the experience was life-changing.
Witness to Wartime: The Painted Diary of Takuichi Fujii examines this painful chapter of American history. Artist Takuichi Fujii was among those imprisoned, first at the Puyallup temporary detention camp on the Washington State Fairgrounds and then at Minidoka Relocation Center, where he lived with his family for over three years.

October Show at Tumalo Art Co. features Dorothy Freudenberg
2019-10-04 16:00 - 20:00
Photographer Dorothy Freudenberg’s show “Riverwalking”, opening October 4, from 4-8pm, during Bend’s First Friday Gallery Walk, embraces the simplicity gained from observing eloquent details of the same river landscape through a change of seasons.
Best known for her highly articulated layered, digital compositions, for this body of work, Dorothy frames a landscape she observes on her daily walk along the Deschutes River as it flows through the Old Mill District. A form of walking meditation, the photos reveal insights and details we often miss in our hurried lives. “River walking” has been curated from literally thousands of images.
While these images were collected along the river, Dorothy made a closer correlation with music and imagery. An accomplished pianist, she will be presenting a slide show combining her photographs with background music—a Chopin Nocturne—she is playing herself, weaving her two creative loves into a visual/audio experience.
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District, open everyday. tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.

Bend! Boldly Went: Live Adventure Storytelling Show and Podcast Recording
2019-10-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Deschutes Brewery Bend Public House, 1044 NW Bond Street, Bend, OR, 97701, United States
Come for an evening of sharing your adventure stories with others in the outdoor community. Settle in to listen or get prepared to share your adventure stories in 10 minutes or less from 7-9 PM. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
You can’t shred gnar, bomb down trail, climb volcanoes, and run whitewater all the time. But at Boldly Went we know that when you’re not, you want to talk about your adventures with other people who get it – probably over beer. And every thru hiker, trail runner, mountain biker, climber, paddler, sailor, scuba diver, flyer, and Indiana Jones wannabe has at least one story that will inspire, inform, or at least entertain the rest of us, so we’re pulling together crowds of you and randomly selecting you to go on stage to give us your best.
How it works: Event format is casual and starts with a brief review of how to tell a good outdoor adventure story. Anyone interested in telling a story will be encouraged to complete the storyteller sign up sheet throughout the evening. Of those signed up, names are drawn at random. Selected individuals are given 10 minutes to tell their adventure story.
Storytellers are judged by select audience members using criteria described in detail on the Boldly Went website. A winner is announced at the end of the evening. Stories are recorded and may be shared later in the weekly podcast.
Everyone is welcome to attend and no one will be required or pressured to tell a story.
See the Boldly Went website for more details about what to expect at the event and tips for preparing your 10 minute story if you think you have one to share.
