Artist Profile: Alisa Looney
Not long ago, I took a stroll downtown to see what I could find in the way of inspiration. I stopped into Red Chair Gallery and found artist Alisa Looney‘s sweet enamel sculptures that are rich with storytelling, humor and a love and respect for nature. Looney doesn’t just work with small enamel sculptures; she […]
Best Art Gallery
Mockingbird Gallery’s big front windows overlook the living art of downtown Bend’s arguably busiest pedestrian spot. But the space inside stretches back into a quiet oasis. Statues, sculptures and paintings of fish, birds, moose, horses, mountain lions and butterfliesโalong with landscapes and scenes of lone barns and rain-streaked city streetsโfill the gallery that represents about […]

Inside the Mind of an “Emerging Artist”

Art Watch 4/1-4/8
Throughout April at the Red Chair Gallery in downtown Bend, aspiring high school students will experience the ins and outs of a “real world” art showโfrom the jury selection process to hanging and pricing and (hopefully) selling their work.
