Come out and enjoy great cheers - great tunes - great times!  Relax on the lawn.  Bring your family, friends, blankets and your picnic dinner.  Wine, beer and sodas available for purchase.  NO outside beverages are allowed.

Join our FREE Friday morning bird walks at the Tualatin Hills Nature Park.  This is a low key stroll for adults that lasts 2 hours but you may leave at any time.  Don't forget to bring your binoculars!

Meet in front of the Nature Center.  No registration required.

On display in the main gallery of the Walters Cultural Arts Center will be modernist landscape paintings from Theresa Andreas O'Leary that are so vibrant you will believe that they emit light like a stained glass window.  The wall and pedestal ceramic art of Christine Pendergrass is full of reference to science, nature and modern painting.  The lively colors and linear nature of the work by these two artists creates a wonderful dialogue and near perfect match of painting and ceramics.

The lower exhibit space surrenders to the mastery of pastel artist Even Kenyon of Beaverton.  On display will be her colorful rural and coastal pastel landscapes as well as her highly detailed still life pencil studies.  Kenyon's art is a treat for those interested in illustrative technique.

An opening reception for all artists will be held on first Tuesday, July 1 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.  In addition to the usual hors d'oeuvres, guests may discover other interesting happenings at the reception like live music and artists' demonstrations.

The Kingstad Gallery's new exhibit 'Icons & Iconoclasts: The Art & The Artist' asks and possibly answers the question: are these two aspects of art, historically in opposition to each other, symbiotic?  Can we have one without the other?

Carrying on ages-old tradition, fifteen regional artists show their symbiotic and oppositional faces while presenting a new generation of exhilarating iconic images. From freshly crafted iconography that builds on the tradition of the ancients, to newly minted digital photo-montages reflecting contemporary symbols and cultural messages, to revered musical icons as diverse as Louis Armstrong, John Lennon, and Bob Marley, these works are on their way to becoming the iconic images of the new millennium.

The opening reception will be on Last Tuesday, June 24 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm and will be catered by Kingstad Catering with a no host wine bar.
