RSVP on Eventbrite link for Professional Artists and Creatives of Lane County.
We are a group of artists and creatives brought together by our desire to help grow the local arts infrastructure and creative sector strategy in Lane County. We are volunteers looking to promote and integrate Lane County’s resources for visual arts, dance, music, theater and performance arts, design, literary, digital, conceptual, film, new media and more. By connecting art and creative disciplines, we are creating opportunities for artists to build community, support, and promote each other.
As bonafide creatives ourselves, we'll make this up as we go along! Join us, we value your skill and expertise. You may see an email invite from the various groups and art organizations who are also supporting this event. Please pass along the invite other professional artists in your network that you think would enjoy attending.
We'll pick a theme each month, February’s theme is Welcome to the Party. Together, we will encourage each other to collaborate in creating a visual art piece, share a song, dance, poem, skit, or just sit around and talk to old friends, and new friends you have yet to meet. Attending out of curiosity is encouraged.
Special thanks to the New Zone Gallery for hosting this month's event, and to MECCA for donating materials to help us build a collaborative art piece during the party.
Hope to see you there,
Sincerely, your February Artist Party Wranglers,
Julie Anderson, Antonio Anacan, Heather Halpern, Charly Swing, Jessica Bobrowski, Mark Davis

Past Event - New Zone Whiteaker Block Party Community Painting Project
(Next Scheduled WBP August 2022)
Each year since 2018 (except cancelled 2020 & 2021 events) New Zone participates in the Whiteaker Block Party by organizing a Community Painting Project. It is a free public painting event. In 2019 we will have (2) 5’ x 8’ and (1) 4’ x 8’ canvas for the public freely express themselves in the visual arts. Acrylic paint, brushes, sponges, oil crayons, markers, commercial and handmade stencils, and acrylic graffiti spray paint. And a large custom made easel to support the canvases while painting. All ages are encouraged to participate on these large canvases. New Zone's Steve La Riccia will be on hand to stamp out dog tags on his "Oppenheimer's Enigma" machine. The Project went extremely well last year with lots of public participation and words of appreciation. The final paintings were exhibited in the Eugene Main Library for a month in April 2019 for all to enjoy. Just as 2018, we will be located on Van Buren between 2nd & 3rd Av. In front of 245 Van Buren. Come join us Saturday Aug 3, 2019 12pm - 8pm for this fun social art experiment!

New Zone Gallery Artists Sponsor Student Intern Study Program 2019
Each year New Zone Gallery sponsors Springfield A3 Students specializing in the arts. New Zone Gallery is proud to have this community service opportunity with A-3. Our gallery mission is community involvement and increasing artistic capability and awareness throughout the Eugene/Springfield area. The student artists work with as many gallery artists and in as many mediums as possible in the month of January, which is set aside for students to intern in whatever field they choose.
Seen below, the interns, Emily and Raven, are finishing up their artwork with Dianne, the second of two visits. On the first visit they spent four hours creating a number of pieces from clay, after a 20 minute tutorial. Once dried, I took their work in to be fired. Then back to glaze. They have approached glazing with the same highly motivated enthusiasm as their first visit with me. The students say this month of artwork has been fun and interesting for them. The reports I’m hearing from other artists who volunteered their time, energy and materials have all very been positive.
