Join the Ashland Gallery Association for Southern Oregon Open Studios!

Taking place on Saturday and Sunday, October 17 and October 18, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,this is a fun and unique opportunity for visual artists who are based in Southern Oregon to show off their creative realms. These spaces are always one of a kind, and each studio has its own peculiarities in set up and working methods depending on the medium and the artist’s needs. While these places where work is made are as individual as the artist, what they all have in common is the energy of creation. This is the forum where an artist is allowed to freely experiment, develop ideas, and fail or succeed.

This year, Southern Oregon Open Studios will feature over twenty artists, and visitors will have the opportunity to engage with everything from painting, to embroidery, sculpture, glass blowing, and more. A variety of art demonstrations have been scheduled to take place throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. There will also be an ‘afterparty’ in which artists and visitors can connect in one central place.

Southern Oregon Open Studios is generously sponsored by Evergreen Federal Bank. The tour is free and open to the public, and all proceeds benefit the Ashland Gallery Association and its efforts to promote the visual arts in Southern Oregon.

The annual ANPF Fall Festival is an opportunity for playwrights to workshop their scripts with professional actors and directors, often for the first time. It is also a chance to connect with audience members during talk-backs following each reading, where patrons can share their thoughts directly with the artists to help continue the growth of their work.
These talk-backs are led by ANPF’s Host Playwrights.

This year's winning plays are The Caelumids by DJ Hills, Netta and Ru by Lisa Langford, persian girl play by Ida Esmaeli, and Threshold by Stephanie Fybel.

Come be a part of the creative process as these new plays come to life through the magic of a dramatic reading. Be sure to stay for the talkbacks and share your insights with the artists.

The new Eureka Chamber Music Series season opens with the legendary Ying Quartet, the Grammy Award-winning string quartet-in-residence at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. They will perform a casual Concert and Conversation featuring Benjamin Britten's "String Quartet No. 2 in C major, Op. 36," written in 1945, the same year that the composer premiered his famous opera "Peter Grimes." The hour-long event will include an insightful dialogue between the artists and the audience, moderated as always by ECMS artistic director Tom Stone. Season Tickets and single concert tickets are on sale now!
