(Cold Spring by Kim Smith)
A juried exhibition by the Watercolor Society of Oregon (WSO), titled Spring Experimental Exhibition, is coming to Central Oregon Community College (COCC) from April 14 to May 25, with 80 works from artists across Oregon filling the Barber Library Rotunda Gallery. The opening reception is from 4-6pm on Friday, April 14.
The Barber Library is open from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm on Fridays and 12pm to 7pm on Sundays. For library hours, visit cocc.edu/library.
The Watercolor Society of Oregon — one of the premier art societies of its kind in the U.S. — was formed in 1966 and has a member list of some 600 active artists.
“We are not exclusively for watercolor artists, as we embrace acrylic painters and water-based mixed-media artists,” said WSO president and Redmond artist Rebecca Sentgeorge. “The Experimental Spring Exhibition is a great opportunity to see that diversity in action.”
“We are so excited to once again host this truly impressive exhibition and welcome back the Watercolor Society of Oregon for the first time since 2019,” said Tina Hovekamp, director of COCC’s library services. “This show features some incredible work and includes a number of local artists.”
