2020 FIRST FRIDAY ART WALK OPEN APPLICATION

PRESS RELEASE: Calling All Artist in Lane County, Oregon

To artists that are interested in showcasing artwork at InEugene Real Estate during a First Friday Artwork, InEugene Real Estate is now accepting applications for a 2020 slot.

InEugene Real Estate is calling all artists in Eugene, Oregon area to submit for participation in their involvement with First Friday art work. This is an opportunity for Lane county artists to show their masterpieces for free! Receiving a thirty-day complimentary showcase to display the artist’s paintings, sculptures, drawings and/or photography.

Ben Fogelson, wants to make it a priority to align and mirror the values that contributed to a successful upbringing, caring for our community. “The local-centric branding that I employ tries to evoke that feeling of care for a community, care for our families,” Ben explains. By planting his boutique real estate brokerage in the heart of Downtown Eugene, making it a highly visible office, Ben decided to donate a monthly section of his space to Lane County’s First Friday Artwalk.

First Friday Artwalk is a community event that encourages local arts by presenting artwork around Downtown Eugene once per month on a first Friday from 5:30-8 pm. The work is hung in various locations, and visitors have the opportunity to take a guided tour, hear from featured creators and purchase local art. InEugene Real Estate was one of the contributors that wanted to be involved in the event and give back to their community by donating their space for artists to showcase their hard work and devotion.

InEugene Real Estate excels helping community members buy & sell residential and commercial real estate through experience, diligence & heart-centered advocacy.

Since the establishment of Ben Fogelson’s boutique real estate agency in 2014, Ben has driven the company to success. Using devotion to service, Ben has created a community, made connections and built upon their reputation. After Jaeger Real Estate closed in 2013, Ben created his own brand. “For the same reasons I didn’t join with a large brokerage at the beginning of my real estate career, I again chose a route that was more reflective of who I was and what I cared to create,” Ben mentions.

Meet Local Artist Patty Larrik

I have always combined teaching with making art. It is important to do both. I was a K-12 art teacher, a curriculum and program designer and an arts administrator at San Jose State and for the Palo Alto USD. The foundations of my own art were formed at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State. However, I probably learned the most from teaching strong-minded and talented high school students and naturally creative little kids. (Oh, to be so free!) It was my students that helped me understand how to think about making art and why art is so important.

My art alternates between representational and abstract images. One informs the other. Representational art, like a novel, creates an emotional response and invites conversations about meaning. Highly abstract or non-objective images are, for me, about the “grammar level” of art. It is essentially art about art. My current “not a tourist” series is about unusual views of places I have visited. Sometimes landscapes, more often cityscapes, or engaging interior spaces. Even though figures are not usually present, these places reveal much about the people who built and inhabit them. A bit surrealistic, the pictures provide multiple possible narratives for the viewer.

A successful match of methods and materials to message stimulates new ideas and new imagery. For in-the-moment, painterly images, particularly my series featuring folk art and arcade figures, high fashion manikins, dolls and animals, I make monotypes, the most fluid, forgiving and immediate method of printmaking. It is basically painting with ink on a slick surface and printing it only once. When color and mood are essential, watercolor is my choice. It is the least forgiving yet a magical method. And for my most studied and detailed “scapes”, I like my version of mixed media, which combines elements of drawing and painting and uses materials that do not usually go together, i.e., pencil, black lithography crayon, solvent and watercolor to heighten the drama. I always learn new things through the extension of an idea and the methods used to make it into art.

Meet Local Artist Jessilyn Brinkerhoff

Jessilyn Brinkerhoff is an alumni of the University of Oregon Art and Design programs and shares her creative passion for larger than life imagery as a painter, public artist, and teacher. She has designed and installed murals under the I-5 Overpass in Southern Oregon, for the skyline of Tacoma, Eco-centers in Thailand, and commissions throughout the Northwest. Her largest work for the city of Tacoma, Washington was a mural of 15,000 square feet at 55 feet high and 275 feet tall. She believes murals and public art have the power to create a sense of place, to inspire hope and beauty in a grey concrete world, and to bring communities together to work on a visionary project for the whole.

“My work features ecosystems of Oregon with its bees, flowers, sunrises and the landscape of farms and rivers. I paint images that are urban and rural, of natural and social history, wild species, forgotten peoples, wide-open spaces and optimistic futures where humans and the environment have come to balance.

With research and color as my instruments, I create contemporary natural motifs in bold colors and graphic elements. This research into communities begins with immersing myself into a place, gathering stories and creating images that truly speak to the vernacular. From here, bold local characters, patterns and historical places are planted into the designs. Looking past the obvious through up-close observation is an important motivator in my process.

I believe art has the power to create a sense of place, inspire hope and beauty, and to bring communities together to work on a visionary project for the whole. I hope to inspire people to break outside of our typical routine, look more carefully at our home place and discover beauty in unusual places.”
