SUMMARY:One Night Pop-Up Exhibition: Miles Frode
DESCRIPTION:Art is a crucial part of our lives\, bringing our community together physically and culturally through its ability to share relatable stories\, inspire reflection\, and form connections through engaging conversations. \nWhen The Haines & Friends Visual Arts Grant Program temporarily acquired a vacant space in Downtown Ashland\, their goal was to do just this… Collaborate with local artists to utilize the space in a creative and meaningful way by providing them with a physical space to display and sell their artwork\, as well as enhance our visual arts community as a whole. \nMiles Frode has been painting for over thirty years. For Miles\, art is a verb. He prefers not to plan anything before painting\, and instead\, intuitively selects and mixes colors\, creating marks while dancing to music to experience a larger creative atmosphere. When forming a composition\, oftentimes\, Miles regularly rotates to different paintings\, purposefully allowing mistakes and covering previous compositions with new ones. Ultimately\, Miles’ intention is to create something that his viewers know is his because it all lives in one place where it sits with him\, between feelings that only Miles has about finished and unfinished paintings\, as well as what is comfortable and uncomfortable. \nCurated by Paige Gerhard\, this exhibition will function as a one night only pop-up exhibition during May First Friday Art Walk\, taking place on Friday\, May 3\, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at 88 North Main Street in Downtown Ashland. \nMore Information: www.hainesandfriends.org \nOne Night Pop-Up Exhibition:\nFriday\, May 3 (May First Friday Art Walk)\n5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. \nLocation:\n88 North Main Street\, Ashland\, Oregon

SUMMARY:Meet Artist Beth Yazhari During First Friday Art Walk \, May 3rd\, 5:00-7:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:Portland artist Beth Yazhari collects delicate fragments of antique lace and embroidery from different cultures and combines them into intricate compositions that reference both East and West. \nBy rescuing discarded doilies and pieces of folk embroidery and recycling them into her beaded paintings\, she intentionally collaborates with the creative spirit of women of the past. Her globally inspired pieces\, with their intricate symmetry\, painted “stitches\,” and richly layered fields of color\, take inspiration from Persian carpets\, quilts\, and abstract expressionist paintings. Her reconstruction of traditional articles of women’s handiwork\, particularly Victorian Era mourning veils\, symbolizes a release of female energy and capacity from historical constraints. \nBeth is the featured artist at the Fiber Arts Collective at 37 N. Third Street\, Ashland\, from May 3rd through June 29th\, 2024. She will be present to visit with the public during First Friday Art Walk\, May 3rd\, 5 to 7:30 p.m.
