Join us Saturday, March 16 at the Scalehouse Gallery to honor and remember Pat and to celebrate her legacy and vision for contemporary art in Bend.

We will have nibbles, drinks (yes, whiskey will be served) and creative activities honoring Pat, including a shrine — please bring something to place on the shrine in memory of Pat.
Her books, journals and artwork will also be on display, and there will be a raffle for a chance to win one of Pat’s pieces of art.
We look forward to seeing you!
On View in The Gallery
Mt Pile featuring Nan Curtis
March 1-April 27, 2024
Opening Reception: Friday March 1 from 5-8pm
Artist Talk: Saturday March 2 from 12-1pm
Mt Pile is a large-scale, site-specific sculptural landscape that delves into the concept of the pile as a metaphor for family. The form is both a pile and a mountain, simultaneously a burden and aspirational. A landscape will be constructed that allows the viewer to both be enveloped in and surrounded by the sculptural forms. There will be several ways to engage the exhibition — through viewership, touch, a ‘shop’, free handouts and workshops, all relevant to the metaphor of family as a pile.
