Digital Paintings by Bruce Bayard and Martin Steele at Rogue Gallery and Art Center

Exhibition Dates: Friday, April 25 - Friday, June 6
Artist Talk: Saturday, April 26, 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Opening Reception: Friday, May 16, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Currently featured in the Main Gallery at Rogue Gallery and Art Center are Digital Paintings by Bruce Bayard and Martin Steele. At the intersection of digital image collage and video performance, Bruce's work is a fusion of visual elements and abstract narrative through innovative mediums. He navigates the language of symbols to convey layered meanings. Embracing randomness as a creative tool, Bruce's work invites his viewers to engage with evolving narratives shaped by chance. In this realm of digital expression, he seeks to challenge perceptions and provoke thought, inviting an exploration into the worlds of space between personal and public. Similarly, Martin has always loved the term ‘snapshot’ because it perfectly captures the idea of what happens in photographs. Sourcing imagery from his prodigious and idiosyncratic archive that contains thousands of images, Martin works in a characteristic palette of saturated hues and chromatic aberrations to invite his viewers into a composition of visual rubble and a unique version of history.

Step into the world of Saturday Speaker Series: Virginia Howard Mullan "Humboldt County Courts World’s Fairs Florence Harrie (1889–1981, Karuk) and experience the legacy of a master weaver. Born at Katimîin, the Karuk center of the world, Florence returned to her ancestral home after boarding school to learn the art of gathering and weaving from renowned weavers like Elizabeth Hickox. She made her living through her craft and today, her great-grandson, Bradley Marshall, has lovingly curated this exhibit to bring her story home.
What makes this exhibit so special?
Florence’s personal weaving chair
The last basket she ever wove
A ceremonial dress made by her descendants that still dances in ceremonies today
Join us at the Clarke Historical Museum and immerse yourself in this deeply personal tribute to a Karuk cultural icon. Don’t miss it!

RVTD now boasts a fleet of 47 buses and 23 paratransit vans covering nearly 80 square miles of territory that serves eight cities.

We noticed that a lot of places in Ashland do something cool for First Friday. So, sure, we'll be followers this time.

We're calling it First Friday Flights! Or maybe we're calling it the Empanada Throwdown!

Either way, it's a music, food, and wine event that you should definitely join! Here's the deal:

Freshly made local empanadas from Caba Empanadas
Lovely fall wines from Resistance Wine Co (that's us!)

You could pretty much hang out all day if you want. But if you just want to pop in for a few empanadas/pours, you could have plenty of time left to visit all the other galleries.

Also, we have some art so you don't just have to look at that weird friend you invited... But, still, bring your friends.

$20.00 Wine tastings + whatever an empanada cost in 2025.

Parent Project is a 10-week series where we go over topics like improving family relationships, using effective discipline to improve school attendance and performance, reduce substance use and negative peer influences, and how to address destructive behavior. It is an opportunity to meet with other parents in similar situations in a judgement free zone and begin to develop a new support system. When you feel like you have tried everything and nothing is working, we can help.

Fortuna Teen Court will be hosting this 10-week series at the Gene Lucas Community Center (3000 Newburg Rd) in Fortuna. Classes will begin 03/18/2025 and be held every Tuesday from 6-8pm. The final class will be on 05/27/25.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the application on our website https://bgcredwoods.org/fortuna-teen-court/, give us a call at 707-617-8160, or email us at fortunatc@bgcredwoods.org.

We look forward to seeing you in class!
