Life In Lake Oswego Showcased In Chronicle Exhibition

From ACLO: The Arts Council of Lake Oswego (ACLO) is pleased to present Chronicle: Selections from the City of Lake Oswego’s Permanent Collection, as part of this year’s Festival of the Arts, June 22, 23, and 24 at Lakewood Center for the Arts.

Shorenstein Realty Services L.L.P sponsors this year's exhibition.

For over two decades, the annual Chronicle exhibition has documented life in Lake Oswego utilizing myriad forms of media.

From pastel and acrylic to photography and linoleum block printing, artists both emerging and established have brought their unique interpretations of the visual impact of Lake Oswego.

Work included in this year’s Chronicle represent the best of the best—those works selected to be purchased for the City of Lake Oswego’s visual art collection.

This collection greets you in public buildings around the city — including City Hall, the Adult Community Center, the new Maintenance Center, and the Library — and provides a glimpse into how Lake Oswego is interpreted through the eyes of an artist.

Selections includes work from local and regional artists including Theresa Andreas-O’Leary, Marla Baggetta, Phil Bard, Jonnel Covault, Robert Dozono, Greg Gabel, Amanda Houston, Scott Loy, Deborah Marble, Martha Pfanschmidt, Michael Southern, Helen Trayle, and Trudy Wolf-Jacobs.

“The City of Lake Oswego has one of the most recognized public art programs in the nation that includes both 3D and 2D work. This stunning collection of recognized regional artists exemplifies the City’s dedication to the visual arts. We are excited to be partnering with Lakewood Theatre and the Festival of Arts for our 22nd year,” explains Nicole Nathan, Executive Director, Arts Council of Lake Oswego.

This look at the past compliments the current exhibition at the Arts Council of Lake Oswego’s 510 Museum & ARTspace, Chronicle: Plein Air.

Plein air is a French expression meaning open air that refers to creating a work of art outside. Artists from all over the area and region joined together for a Plein Air paint out held earlier this month.

All of the works on display were created between June 8-10th in public parks, plazas and open spaces around Lake Oswego.

New this year, the beautiful Marylhurst University campus served as a paint out location.

Come see all the interpretations of the landscape of Lake Oswego at the Chronicle: Plein Air exhibition at 510 Museum & ARTspace, located at 510 1st Street, Lake Oswego with an opening reception, June 22 from 3 to 7 p.m. in conjunction with the Festival.
