Hidden Luxury in Southeast Salem Hidden Luxury in Southeast Salem WINTER/SPRING 2019 $3.95 Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University A Note From Gerry Frank I am pleased to announce that the fourth edition of Gerry Frank’s Oregon (published June 2018) remains the best-selling comprehensive guide to Oregon; avail- able at oregonguidebook.net. This new edition has been completely updated with dozens and dozens of new listings. These entries are my recommendations for the best places to eat, sleep, play and relax in our great state. Find the best seafood shacks on the coast. Learn about a remote cattle ranch where you can Gerry Frank dig for your own thundereggs (our state rock).

No region of the HEARTS ON FIRE STORES, AUTHORIZED RETAILERS, HEARTSONFIRE.COM RETAILERS, AUTHORIZED HEARTS ON FIRE STORES, state has been overlooked. Growing up in a “department store” family with roots in Oregon long before it was a state, I developed a cer- tain savvy for retail salesmanship. I later spent a good part of my life as chief of staff to the late Senator Mark Hatfield. Working together for a quarter century, we vis- ited every corner of Oregon’s geography on constituent swings. For over 30 years now I have been writing for The Oregonian Travel Section, furthering my knowl- edge of Oregon’s nooks and crannies. It is these adven- tures and experiences – as well as the recommendations and memories of friends, colleagues and readers – that I drew upon to form the basis of Gerry Frank’s Oregon. And it has been a huge success. I have been over- whelmed by the positive response to the first three edi- tions. I hope you enjoy this new edition as much as I did bringing it to you.

  • CHARLES E. HEANEY: MEMORY, IMAGINATION, and PLACE Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University January 22 Through March 19, 2005
    CHARLES E. HEANEY: MEMORY, IMAGINATION, AND PLACE Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University January 22 through March 19, 2005 Teachers Guide This guide is to help teachers prepare students for a field trip to the exhibition, Charles Heaney: Memory, Imagination, and Place; offer ways to lead their own tours; and propose ideas to reinforce the gallery experience and broaden curriculum concepts. Teachers, however, will need to consider the level and needs of their students in adapting these materials and lessons. Preparing for the tour: • If possible, visit the exhibition on your own beforehand. • Using the images (print out sets for students, create a bulletin board, etc.) and information in the teacher packet, create a pre-tour lesson plan for the classroom to support and complement the gallery experience. If you are unable to use images in the classroom, the suggested discussions can be used for the Museum tour. • Create a tour Build on the concepts students have discussed in the classroom Have a specific focus, i.e. the theme Memory, Imagination and Place; subject matter; art elements; etc. Be selective – don’t try to look at or talk about everything in the exhibition. Include a simple task to keep students focused. Plan transitions and closure for the tour. • Make sure students are aware of gallery etiquette. At the Museum: • Review with students what is expected – their task and museum behavior. • Focus on the works of art. Emphasize looking and discovery through visual scanning (a guide is included in this packet). If you are unsure where to begin, a good way to start is by asking, “What is happening in this picture?” Follow with questions that will help students back up their observations: “What do you see that makes you say that?” or “Show us what you have found.” • Balance telling about a work and letting students react to a work.

  • Carl Hall Gallery
    COLLECTION GUIDE Carl Hall Gallery Hallie Ford Museum ofArt1 2 On the Edge PACIFIC NORTHWEST ART FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COLLECTION at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art includes paintings, sculptures, and works on paper created by Oregon artists as well as modern and contemporary works from Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Northwest art has been central to the mission of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art since it was first envisioned in the early 1990s. A long tradition of art instruction at Willamette, beginning in the 1850s and continuing with today’s strong departments of art and art history, provides the context for making regional art one of the primary emphases of this university-linked museum. Selections from the Pacific Northwest collection are exhibited in the Carl Hall Gallery, named for the painter who came to Oregon for basic training during World War II and, following his service in the Pacific, returned to the state he referred to as “Eden again.” He taught painting, drawing, and printmaking at Willamette University for thirty-eight years, retiring in 1986. Although the permanent collection contains some nineteenth-century Oregon art, the Carl Hall Gallery presents Northwest art from the 1930s to the twenty-first century. The title of the installation, On the Edge: Pacific Northwest Art from the Permanent Collection, recognizes the edgy, avant-garde nature of these works within their respective periods—as well as the region’s location on the edge of the continent. The Pacific Northwest collection is made up of works purchased with the Maribeth Collins Art Acquisition Fund and also includes donations of individual works from artists as well as collectors, such as Dan and Nancy Schneider.

Roosevelt took office in January 1933, the nation was in the grip of a severe economic depression, and some 13 million people were out of work. Roosevelt and his administration created a sweeping network of relief programs called the New Deal, ranging from farm subsidies to soup kitchens, resettlement programs to large public works projects, and jobs programs under the Works Progress Administration (or WPA). Those jobs included programs designed to employ visual artists, musicians, actors, and writers. Collectively known as Federal One they included the Federal Art Project, and the associated projects of music, literature, theater and historical records. These federal projects had a widespread impact on Oregon’s artistic communities. They offered many Oregonians their first opportunity to subsist as professional artists. Roosevelt’s public arts programs were a revolutionary experiment in government support for the arts. Designed in part to inspire the American people during the Depression’s hard times, New Deal arts initiatives promoted the values of work and family.

  • Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh Gallery
    COLLECTION GUIDE Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh Gallery Hallie Ford Museum ofArt1 2 Across Continents, Through Time SELECTIONS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION THE MARK AND JANETH SPONENBURGH Gallery’s installation, Across Continents, Through Time: Selections from the Permanent Collection, features a range of artworks from the Hallie Ford Museum of Art’s permanent collections of European, Asian, and American art. The collections span 4,500 years of Western and Eastern art history and encompass four continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. The collections have been assembled over the years to support the liberal arts curriculum of Willamette University and to introduce Hallie Ford Museum of Art visitors to some of the major themes and styles in the history of Western and Eastern art. Far from comprehensive or complete, the collections are instead made up of small, unassuming art treasures that are meant to be studied, savored, appreciated, and enjoyed. The first university art museum in the United States was founded at Yale University in 1832 by the Revolutionary War hero and American history painter John Trumbull. By the end of the nineteenth century, a number of colleges and universities had established art museums on their campuses, including Vassar College in 1864, Princeton University in 1882, Bowdoin College in 1894, and Harvard University in 1896, among others. From the very beginning, these institutions were founded to help support the liberal arts curriculums of their respective universities, to provide a vehicle for introducing their students to the history of art, and, in the words of Edward W. Forbes of Harvard University, to build collections that “tell the story of the artistic and imaginative possibilities of man .

  • 2017 Oregon Governor's Arts Awards Program
    GOVERNOR’S ARTS AWARDS FRIDAY, OCTOBER , MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR KATE BROWN Governor Dear Arts Supporters, I am honored to welcome you to the 2017 Governor’s Arts Awards. The Oregon Arts Commission has made sure art is a part of our daily lives for the past 50 years. In honor of this historic anniversary, I am proud to reinstate the Governor’s Arts Awards and to once again honor artists and organizations that make outstanding contributions to the arts in Oregon. Art is a fundamental ingredient of any thriving and vibrant community. Art sparks connections between people, movements and new ideas. Here in Oregon, the arts enrich our quality of life and local economies, helping form our great state’s unique identity. Not only that, art education is key in fostering a spirit of creativity and innovation in our youth. I want to thank each of you for being a part of this community, making Oregon more beautiful, more alive every day. Each of today’s Arts Awards recipients has touched the lives of thousands of Oregonians in meaningful ways. They were selected through a highly competitive process from a field of 110 worthy nominees and are extremely deserving of this honor. I thank them for making Oregon a better and more beautiful place and ask you to join with me in celebrating their achievements. Sincerely, Governor Kate Brown PROGRAM WELCOME Christopher Acebo • Chair, Oregon Arts Commission PERFORMANCE BRAVO Youth Orchestras & Darrell Grant AWARDS Presented by Governor Kate Brown COMMUNITY AWARD Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD Arvie Smith PHILANTHROPY AWARD The James F.
