AND AT DIVA ...
The New Year begins with a First Friday ArtWalk opening and artist
reception on January 4th, from 5:30 - 8:00PM, for “DIVA in Film” - a two-part
exhibit that celebrates the cinematic arts.
DIVA’s east side gallery features work by five local artists who have
each done his or her own interpretation of, or, reaction to a famous scene in
cinema. The artists include Elise Ertel, painting; Jeff Langevin, digital
print; Mike Stephen, sculpture/mix media; Seth Pierce, textile printing; Katie
Richanbach, screen printing.
The west side gallery displays a collection of classic film posters,
including several posters of motion pictures that were shot in Eugene. A film's
poster is instrumental to any film's commercial success. But the posters on
display not only communicate their message successfully but also do so in a
visually striking way. This exhibit highlights where pop culture meets fine
art. The exhibit runs through January.
The
Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts Center (DIVA) celebrates the art of the
moving image throughout January with a series of exhibits and events concluding
with the 9th annual OpenLens Festival on the 26th. OpenLens Festival: http://openlens.proscenia.net/
