"Confluence Project is a collaborative effort of Pacific Northwest tribes, renowned artist Maya Lin, civic groups from Washington and Oregon and other artists, architects and landscape designers. The project stretches more than 300 miles from where the Columbia River flows into the Pacific Ocean, to Clarkston, WA, with sites in both Oregon and Washington. Each of its seven sites features an art installation by Ms. Lin that interprets the area's ecology and history, encouraging the visitor to reflect on how the surroundings have changed over time. Each references a passage from the Lewis and Clark journals."

I have not been to the fair but would love to go sometime, from what I have read from the comments and heard form the community it is an amazing experience.

I can't wait and see the world class entertainers and performers, hand craft artisans and gourmet food creators at this amazing festival.

Okay I am unsure if this qualifies as an art world or anything note worthy. I however thought it was fun and interesting. So I have always heard that animals could "create" art in various ways but i had never seen it. Through looking for another thing to post i stumbled upon this and thought id share! The link provided is to watch the oregon zoos elephants paint pictures that are largely better than what I could do. http://youtu.be/4KW5y7SmQq4

That is a really fun video, I think these paintings could reflect different characteristic of the elephant, and their emotion while they painting, it is really amazing.

The Oregon Voice is the best completely student-run magazine on campus because it is the only completely student-run magazine on campus. We get to print what we want and that's what makes it cool. We're always looking for contributors of writing or art, so if you'd like to get involved, feel free to apply!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I didn't know that The Oregon Voice is a student-run magazine. I should get one and see what kinds of stories in there!

"Passed in 1975, Oregon's Percent for Art legislation mandates that 1% of the direct construction funds of new or remodeled state buildings with construction budgets of $100,000 or more be set aside for the acquisition of art work. The Oregon Arts Commission oversees the Program and maintains archives of slides, photographs and related documentation for the works of art selected. Encompassing over a 30-year period, the database offers access to over 5200 items. The collection offers glimpses of 1545 unique artwork creations, visual narratives of the creative process, and documentation."

This is my absolute favorite place to spend time during the summer months! The Cuthbert has never disappointed me in terms of quality live music. The concerts are always reasonably priced and are decently regulated for the most part so families can attend. The atmosphere is unlike any other venue in Oregon and I highly recommend making a concert part of your summer agenda if you are living in Eugene this summer. "A beautiful concert venue with a capacity of 5,000, The Cuthbert Amphitheater offers everyone an opportunity to enjoy live music outdoors during spectacular Oregon summers. Located in Eugene, Oregon at the edge of Alton Baker Park near the University of Oregon's Autzen Stadium, The Cuthbert features superb sound, beer gardens, food booths and an environment perfect for enjoying superb music performed live by the best touring bands in the country."

Oregon has many great concerts this season including Bruno Mars at Matthew Knight Arena. You are not going to want to miss the Matthew Knight Arena Bruno Mars concert

I have always been a dancer so the art world surrounding dance has always been one of a fascination for me. Oregon Ballet Theatre is really big in Portland where I am from and I grew up attending all of there shows, such as Swan Lake or The Nutcracker. They are preform the rendition of Swan Lake on the 26th of this month and I would highly recommend going!

A little bit entertainment. This recreation of 'Gangnam Style' always keeps me entertained and laughing. They incorporated a lot of scenery and places on U of O campus to illustrate the ducks and got a lot of people to join in and take pride in our school.

I agree with this! Even though this is not going on anymore I found it so entertaining to see Oregon and many other schools compete to get the best 'Gangnam Style' video. I liked how you were able to see the aspects of our school through this. Very funny way to showcase the beauty of our school.

This video is awesome! Whether people understood all Korean lyrics and the hidden meanings of the song or not, they made it really great. It reminds me of an idea that art (mainly focusing on entertainment in this case) does not have no boundaries at all.

These two contemporary Oregon artists offer two substantially different but equally innovative approaches to figurative art. Hamilton, born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1972, found her true home when she moved to Portland in 1996. After painting for almost twenty years, her artistic practice was transformed when she visited a non-traditional textile arts exhibition. From there she was inspired to fuse the two parts of her life that were closest to her-her daily urban environment and her grandmother's tradition of crochet. Often portraying friends and co-workers from her days in the food-service industry, Hamilton's work displays a whimsical and affectionate vision of working-class Portland. As her work has progressed, she has taken on other subjects as well, including mug shots from Multnomah County, industrial landscapes of Portland, and full-figure nudes.
