The Firehouse Gallery 214 SW Fourth Street 5419567339 'Anyone Can Draw' figure group Body of Work This exhibition celebrates the time-honored and living tradition of artists' encounter with the live model. The immediacy of these works, from the local figure group "Anyone Can Draw," exemplifies the timeliness and beauty of this rich practice. In the Community Exhibits Room: Jeffrey R. Cunningham Memorial Exhibit.   Gallery One 229-B SW G St. 5414791218 Daniel Desmond Impressionistic Oil Paintings Gallery One presents Daniel Desmond's impressionistic oil paintings. "My intention is to derive the emotional factor from the process of the painting rather than from the subject matter. The painting is not a copy of a scene, but from my memory of similar scenes modified to meet my design criteria. The important considerations for my paintings are eye path, focal point, and a reasonable combination of warm and cool colors."   Grants Pass Museum of Art 229 SW G Street 5414793290 Sightlines Presenting "Sightlines" An International Quilt Exhibition by SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) Art Quilts You Have Never Before Imagined!
