As part of Braver Angels' effort to reduce political polarization among Oregonians, our Rural/Urban Project Town Hall brings Oregonians together to identify issues dividing rural and urban residents. This series of information-gathering Town Halls, to be conducted throughout the state, will be followed by "Common Ground Discussions" where rural and urban folks can together explore the issues and seek out bridge-building policy recommendations. We will then collect those recommendations and present them to the Legislature. NOTE: The Town Hall is a hybrid format so you can attend online if that is more convenient. If you want to attend online via Zoom then you must register in advance to receive the Zoom details.

We encourage community leaders to attend the Town Halls with an eye toward representing their communities in the (future) Common Ground Discussions. We especially encourage young adults to attend the Town Halls and consider participating in the conversation, as they represent both the future of Oregon's rural and urban communities and our citizens' efforts to reduce the burdens of the rural/urban divide. We welcome all Oregonians of goodwill to join us in this project!

Dual-resident painter and San Francisco Art Institute alum Patricia Schaefer- Robbins will debut a concurrent solo exhibitions at Nous Restaurant.

The exhibition brings a unique global perspective to Ashland’s art scene. Splitting time between
studios in Ashland and London, England, Schaefer-Robbins uses oil and acrylic to weave together
botanical themes, still life, pagan traditions, and ancient lore.

At Nous Restaurant, visitors will get an exclusive look at mythical and ritualistic works, including
"Offering," and pieces from an ambitious new series of larger-scale panels exploring goddess
mythology, such as "Court of the Autumn Equinox" and "Song of the Green Woods."

Calling all artists, writers, creatives! Join us for an informal afternoon of inspiration and art making in the early fall.

Take a field trip out of the studio, and enjoy the golden hour as it befalls the golden grasses and blue hillsides. Explore what it means to make art as part of the story of a healing landscape. We will share about the meadow and creek restoration demonstration site and have thoughtful discussion of the meaning of restoring a native landscape. You will be inspired by fall colors, birds, peace, and the unique landscape and the community that stewards it.

You will have the opportunity to learn about the local ecology in our area, the biocultural restoration work at the Vesper Meadow Restoration Preserve, and connect with other artists. Join us for a group painting, sketching, writing experience. VM Director Jeanine Moy and artist Sarah Burns will lead a guided a short introductory hike and then participants will independently work with the meadow as muse for a couple of hours. Afterwards, we’ll gather at the barn to share work and experiences. Space is limited for this free event, please RSVP.
