Exhibit: The Nuclear Age: 70<br />
Years of Peril and Hope. OSU’s<br />
Valley Library, fifth-floor exhibit gallery, OSU<br />
main campus. The exhibit runs through March.<br />
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the<br />
atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki<br />
during World War II. The Special Collections<br />
and Archives Research Center at OSU Libraries<br />
is honoring this anniversary with an exhibit<br />
featuring a wide-ranging selection of primary<br />
source materials from their rich collections<br />
documenting nuclear history. Original<br />
materials include comics, Geiger counters,<br />
newspapers, photographs, manuscripts, and<br />
letters from famous antinuclear activists<br />
Linus Pauling and Albert Einstein. For info,<br />
visit http://scarc.library.oregonstate.edu.<br />
Exhibit: Daily Objects at The<br />
Arts Center. The Arts Center, 700 SW<br />
Madison Ave. Tuesday through Saturday, 12<br />
– 5 p.m. Runs through Nov. 21. Three young<br />
artists bring attention to objects we encounter<br />
daily. Painter Sarah Fagan, photographer<br />
Susan Rochester, and conceptual artist Sandee<br />
McGee deal with common items in uncommon<br />
ways. They lift items out of context and infuse<br />
them with foreign elements to create an<br />
estrangement or distraction to the original<br />
meaning of each object. This may make one to<br />
examine what “daily objects” mean, or even<br />
what a “daily reality” means. We define our<br />
existence through concrete elements, but when<br />
these concrete elements are questioned, we<br />
can perceive our reality with new insights. The<br />
three artists work in very different styles and<br />
media. For info, visit www.theartscenter.net.<br />
Exhibit: Diverse Dimensions<br />
at Fairbanks Gallery. Fairbanks<br />
Gallery, 220 SW 26th St. 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.<br />
Runs through Nov. 3. In a dimension where<br />
an art practice is similar to the scientific<br />
method lies the work of contemporary<br />
sculptor Ben Butler. With an educational<br />
background in both art and neuroscience,<br />
Butler’s time spent studying molecular and<br />
cellular structures of the nervous system<br />
seems clearly relatable to his highly complex<br />
drawings and sculptures. For info, visit<br />
www.oregonstate.edu/fairbanksgallery.<br />
Exhibit: Soap Creek Artisans.<br />
Benton County Historical Museum, 1101<br />
Main St., Philomath. 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.<br />
Runs through Nov. 21. The Soap Creek<br />
Artisans participating in this exhibition are<br />

pottery), Vicki Idema (fabric-surface design),<br />
Ann Lahr (ceramics), Judy Moon (watercolors,<br />
ink, and in-between), Kelly Nutter (fused<br />
glass), and Deanna Peters (fused glass). The<br />
Soap Creek Artisans are a group of talented<br />
artists based in Oregon’s Soap Creek Valley.<br />
Known for its unique country setting and<br />
historical past—it is home to the Soap Creek<br />
one-room schoolhouse—Soap Creek Valley<br />
is located 10 miles northwest of Corvallis. For<br />
info, visit www.bentoncountymuseum.org.<br />

Open Call for Submissions –<br />
Pitch & Stark Photography in<br />
Black and White. The Majestic Theatre,<br />
115 SW 2nd Ave. All day. Runs through Oct.<br />
30. The Majestic Theatre is currently holding<br />
an open call to local photographers for<br />
Pitch & Stark: Photography in Black & White<br />
through Oct. 30. In November, the Majestic<br />
Theatre welcomes artists and art lovers<br />
to rediscover the beauty of mono images<br />
in its second community art show of the<br />
season. Black and white remains a cherished<br />
medium for how its subtlety of tones can<br />
strip down an image to its raw composition<br />
in a society of modern technology that<br />
flashes a million colors a minute. The format<br />
complements all types of photography and<br />
light, from movement to landscapes, urban<br />
landscapes, portrait, architecture, or macro<br />
snapshots and creates images bold and<br />
powerful or soft and hazy. All interpretations,<br />
capture types, and processes within the<br />
parameters of the theme are accepted. For<br />
info, visit www.majestic.org/pitchstark.<br />
The Majestic Reader’s Theater.<br />
The Majestic Theatre, 115 SW 2nd Ave. 3 – 5<br />
p.m. and 7 – 9 p.m. Cost: $10 ($8 for students<br />
and seniors). Last Sundays. The company will<br />
offer a production in the “reader’s theater”<br />
style: trained actors, with scripts in hand, make<br />
the play come alive through vocal talent, facial<br />
expressions, and minimal staging. Reader’s<br />
theater plays are a fun, accessible way to<br />
experience contemporary works by famous<br />
modern playwrights that might not otherwise<br />
be performed here. For info or tickets, visit<br />
