Every Wednesday 6:15 to 9:00 pm
Life Drawing Sessions @New Zone Every Wednesday at New Zone Gallery, 6:15 to 9:00 pm you can join in Life Drawing sessions at New Zone Gallery. The sessions will feature short to long poses, working from a nude model. Drop-in cost is $8, or $60 pre-paid for 10 sessions. This is an opportunity for artists who draw or paint to practice their figure art craft. There is no instruction, yet artists can freely discuss and support each other in their development. We will follow safety protocols – all attendees wear masks, sanitation observed, distancing, and no shared food or drink. The model will not wear a mask while posing, but will during breaks. The group is coordinated by Will Mitchell. For further information: 541-731-4599 or yogawill@yahoo.com |

January 28, 2022 - Agnès Varda
Faces Places (2017)
In 2017, Agnès Varda co-directed Faces Places with the artist JR (the pseudonym of a French photographer and street artist whose identity is unconfirmed). They teamed up to co-direct this enchanting documentary/road movie. It follows Varda and JR traveling around rural France, creating portraits of the people they come across. Varda was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for this film, making her the oldest person to be nominated for a competitive Oscar. Although the nomination was her first, Varda did not regard it as important, stating: "There is nothing to be proud of, but happy. Happy because we make films to love. We make films so that you love the film."

New Zone Whiteaker Block Party Community Painting Project 2018 & 2019 (next WBP August 2022)
(Unfortunately the Whiteaker Block Party was cancelled 2020/2021!)
Each year since 2018 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.
