Collective exhibition highlights art from Native artists
Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts is offering a unique artist in residency program located on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. While Crow's Shadow is a print studio that offers educational and professional development opportunities for Native artists, its residency program invites artists who don't traditionally work in the printmaking medium to work with a master printer to create lithographs of their work.

Two local events turn old items into new treasures
Staring in 2000, a unique, day-long, annual event began bringing artists together, creating things using only what they found at what was once Bend's premiere junkyard wonderland, Pak-It. Pat Korish, owner of Pak-It, paired with Artists Local 101, a now-defunct nonprofit art group, to put on the event.

A group show, currently on display at Bend Art Center, features an eclectic mix of work from a variety of artists who each interprets the idea of "books" in a unique way—including a variety of sculptural forms that step outside the traditional format. The show is made up of pen and ink illustrations from printed books, handmade books—including sculptural books that showcase a variety of forms—and even some more abstract ideas relayed in three-dimensional sculpture.
