TWO NEW<br />
EXHIBITS AT<br />
VISUAL ARTS<br />
CENTER<br />
Pieces from Rasa Clay Works and the Oregon<br />
Coast Council for the Arts’ first ever Member<br />
Show will be on display beginning Saturday, Feb.<br />
4, at the Newport<br />
Visual Arts Center,<br />
with an opening<br />
reception from 2<br />
to 5 p.m. that day.<br />
Admission is free,<br />
and the exhibits will<br />
remain on display<br />
through March 25.<br />
The Member<br />
Show will be in<br />
the VAC’s Runyan<br />
Gallery. This will be<br />
the first time <strong>OC</strong>CA<br />
has offered an<br />
exhibition exclusively<br />
for its members,<br />
who were each<br />
invited to submit<br />
up to two pieces for<br />
display. The show<br />
will feature a fresh<br />
and eclectic mix of<br />
materials and styles,<br />
and all pieces will be<br />
original works of art,<br />
created within the<br />
last three years, that<br />
have not previously<br />
been exhibited at the<br />
VAC.<br />
In the COVAS Showcase, an exhibit called<br />
“Enduring Esthetic” features pieces from Rasa<br />
Clay Works. Based in Yachats, Rasa is a ceramic<br />
studio exploring new techniques and featuring<br />
work that is almost exclusively functional. Their<br />
pottery is wheel-thrown utilizing stoneware or<br />
porcelain clay, with hand-formulated, raw earthen<br />
glazes. In their collective statement, the artists<br />
mention they “love how pottery is an easily<br />
accessible and relatively inexpensive art form that<br />
can be used in our daily lives, bringing beauty and<br />
a profound pleasure of interacting with something<br />
made by human hands for human living.”<br />
During the opening reception, attendees can<br />
enjoy a wheel throwing demonstration by Rasa<br />
Clay Works and music by guitarist and vocalist<br />
Mike Tolle. They will also have an opportunity<br />
to speak with<br />
artist Arlon<br />
Gilliland, whose<br />
“Celebrating<br />
Artistic Diversity”<br />
exhibit is<br />
currently on<br />
display in the<br />
VAC’s third floor<br />
gallery, through<br />
Feb. 25.<br />
The Newport<br />
Visual Arts<br />
Center, located<br />
at 777 NW Beach<br />
Drive, is open<br />
Wednesdays<br />
through Saturdays<br />
from noon to 4<br />
