Ag Focused Art Set To Tour Oregon
An exhibit of Ag-related artwork will tour the state this summer, as part of Oregon State University’s annual “Art About Agriculture” program. The 60 pieces from 47 northwest artists include more than just paintings and photographs.
"This year, we have textile art, ceramics, there’s an installation piece, found object sculpture, drawings, print-making," said Directing Curator Owen Premore. He noted this year’s exhibition is called “Sustainable Feast”.
“So, most of the actual artwork in the show about food is talking about the broader understanding of how food comes to be on our table. It’s a very broad show - very few pieces actually have ‘food on a plate.’”
The exhibit is currently on display in Corvallis, and will remain there through June 15th. Then, July 1st through the 30th, the display will be in Baker City. Then comes August and September, the exhibit will migrate to Newport.
Eight of this year’s pieces have been selected to be included in OSU’s permanent collection of nearly 400 Ag-related works of art.
