Join us for an exciting Art Show featuring recycled and reclaimed art!
Come by the Library for a Meet & Greet with the area’s artists in our current Recycled/Reclaimed Art Exhibit. Doors open at 4 pm with announcements at 4:15 which will include artist introductions and the start of a silent auction along with some wine and hors d’oeuvres (a $5 donation is suggested).
Stick around for the big reveal of the new recycled tile mosaic. All proceeds will benefit the summer reading, music, and art kids programs at ECEC.
The mosaic was created by local artists Marsha Mello, Samantha Fitzgibbon, and Alan Mooney of Defy Industry. All 120 pounds of post-consumer plastic have been gathered from the Elkton area to make this beautiful mosaic to be installed outside of the new building.
We want to extend a big thank you to the local event volunteer organizers and to the Elkton Wineries, Tomaselli’s Pastry Mill & Cafe, and the Oregon Arts Commission for sponsoring this event.
A Journey of Discovery
Take a walk through the gardens and Native Plant Park to discover whimsical creations and permanent art installations. The centerpiece is a set of three 24′ high decorative cast iron grills depicting evergreen forests by internationally known artist Jan Zach (pictured above). The grills were commissioned in 1960 and originally installed on the Equitable Savings and Loan Building in Roseburg). Other highlights include a stunning stone fountain by Lincoln Russel of BR Nursery and recent works by metal artist Phil Beck.
