artHouse LTA invites the community to experience My Color Weighs a Ton, a new exhibition by founder and artist Gabriel LTA (a.k.a. yrstruly), opening during Bend’s First Friday Art Walk on August 7th from 5–9 pm.

The exhibition premieres a predominantly new collection of statement piece paintings created to command a room rather than simply decorate one. Each piece explores emotional weight through vibrant color and physical presence.

The gallery recently received recognition as a Top 3 finalist for Best Art Gallery in the Bend Bulletin’s Community Choice Awards, with winners to be announced this September.

With so many new pieces on the walls, this event is the perfect opportunity to find the one to build your space around. artHouse has been described in reviews as “exclusively inclusive”; dedicated to providing an approachable, welcoming experience for collectors, visitors, and aspiring artists of all ages.
