Marty Stewart March Show at Tumalo Art Co/
2020-03-06 16:00 - 20:00
The title of Marty Stewart’s March exhibit, “Seeking Beauty”, perfectly describes her new pastel paintings. The show opens March 6, from 4-8pm during Bend’s First Friday Gallery Walk at Tumalo Art Co in the Old Mill District.
“The beauty of the natural world has always been the central inspiration for my pastel landscapes” Marty says. “The landscape speaks to me of many things. Rivers speak of travel, ancient trees and mountains of their strength and endurance. The ever-changing sky reminds us of impermanence. Open spaces of solitude…” Marty seeks to convey some of what she experiences through her senses of these aspects of the natural world, through her pastels to the viewer.
During her career as an artist Marty has received many awards, often for the expressive abstraction of her pastel paintings.
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District, open 7 days a week. www.tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.

Gypsy the Musical
2020-03-12 19:30 - 22:00
The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, (ASCAP) voted its score the best ever written for a Broadway musical.
GYPSY is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success… while secretly yearning for her own. Set all across America in the 1920’s and 30’s, when vaudeville was dying and Broadway was born, Arthur Laurents’ landmark musical explores the true love of show business with brass, humor, heart, and a dream.
The celebrated score by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim boasts one glorious hit after hit, including: “Let Me Entertain You,” “Some People “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” and “You Gotta Get A Gimmick“.

April Show at Tumalo Art Co.—Tracy Leagjeld & Susan Luckey Higdon
2020-04-01 08:00 - 2020-04-30 17:00
Our April show at Tumalo Art Co. features Tracy Leagjeld and Susan Luckey Higdon, two artists who are drawn to many of the same subjects and have a simpatico sensibility about color. First admiring each other’s art and then becoming friends, they eventually partnered as owners of Tumalo Art Co. The idea of doing this show together came to them while camping and sketching in the high Cascades last autumn, surrounded by lakes and meandering creeks.
Tumalo Art Co. is not having an opening reception for the April show, but invites you to see the full show online at tumaloartco.com/april. Videos will help you see the art on the walls, which is a work of art as well.
Tracy primarily spends her time doing monotypes on board, but can also be seen painting small plein air studies all over the Northwest, from coast, to gorge to mountains. Many of these small paintings are later made into larger monotypes. Her distinctive style of creating her marks with printmaking rollers keeps her images loose, energetic and colorful.
Susan paints in acrylic on cradled board in an impressionistic style adding paint and wiping it off, building up layers. Using composition to narrow and refine the view, she focuses on pattern and color making many of her images feel semi-abstracted. “This approach to seeing nature has limitless possibilities,” says Susan.
Tumalo Art Co. is currently closed to the public, but we are available to help you with your art and gift needs. Email art@tumaloartco.com to make an appointment to see the show by Face Time or zoom. We look forward to seeing you in person in the near future!
