Astoria Visual Arts

Sep 12-Oct 4 Adoration of Light: The Power of Yellow in Dark Times. Curated by Astoria artist Iris Sullivan Daire, this is the third national and international invitational exhibition in a series exploring natural dyes. Focusing on yellow and its extraordinary range of hues, this is a collective call to action to take care of both the Earth, and each other. Opening Oct 10 Midori Hirose and Slayer Rowan: Reclaiming Discarded Materials. In partnership with Recology Western Oregon, AVA presents work created during a four-month residency using materials discarded at the Astoria Transfer Station. Hirose transforms reclaimed materials into sculptural installations exploring place and memory,
while Rowan works through experimentation, curiosity and an evolving relationship with materials and process.
