Exhibition Screening for 2009-2011

PDF version

Chemeketa Community College Art Gallery is seeking submissions for exhibitions during the 2009-2011 academic years. All mediums will be considered for solo and group shows. Independent curators are also welcome to submit exhibition proposals. We especially look for exhibits about the human condition, shows that present diverse viewpoints and for exhibits that reflect the art disciplines offered at the college.

Chemeketa Community College is situated in the mid-Willamette Valley in Salem, Oregon. The college fully supports the arts and maintains a vibrant art gallery. The gallery has six shows during the academic year, exhibiting regional, national and international artists. Art classes at Chemeketa Community College include art history, bronze, ceramics, design, digital illustration, drawing, flame working, glass fusing and slumping, painting, photography, printmaking, stained glass, video and visual communications.

All artwork on exhibit in the gallery is insured. The gallery retains a 30 percent commission on work sold.  Artists are responsible for shipping costs to and from the gallery.  The gallery will pay for printing and mailing announcements to both the gallery’s and individual artist’s (up to 300 names per exhibit) mailing lists.  All exhibits include a reception with the artist and usually, local press coverage.

The Exquisite Still Life
Monday, October 6- Friday, October 31
Reception: Wednesday, October 8, noon-2

Lisa Caballero, Dan P. Carr, Bobbie Jansen and John Van Dreal.

Lisa Caballero’s oil paintings capture the things we eat now, like cupcakes and donuts, with a mastery reminiscent of Velasquez. Dan P. Carr’s careful observation of color enlivens his small-scale, single-object paintings and his blog entries about them. Bobbie Jansen paints startling narrative juxtapositions of objects with a fluid handling of light, color and form in the tradition of Manet. Stylistically influenced by Nothern European masters, John Van Dreal brings iconography, symbolism–and sometimes a figure–to his rendered, still life paintings.

A Potter Collects: Selections from Burke Kleiber’s Private Collection
Monday, November 10- Tuesday, December 2
Reception and Lecture “Stories Behind the Pots”
Wednesday, November 12, noon-2

Is it surprising that a potter loves pottery? This collection, amassed over twenty years, includes beautiful examples of form, function and flair. Each reflects the admiration of one artist for the work of others in his field. These pieces adorn Burke Kleibers home, but also provide inspiration for his craft.
