Exhibit Extravaganza: 2019 Schedule / by John Ritchie

Recently I have so many exhibit engagements that I can hardly keep track of them myself, so I know nobody else can either. Here’s a summary of all four of them.


Dreaming In Color

I blogged about this a few days ago but here are the summary details again.

  • Location: LightBox Photographic, 1045 Marine Drive, Astoria Oregon

  • Dates: November 9th through December 10th 2019

  • Reception: 5-8 PM, Saturday November 9th. I plan to be there, I hope to see you!


About Light

I’ve been invited to participate in About Light at The Arts Center in Corvallis based upon my work in the recent “The Critical Eye” exhibit. The curator asked me to put in a piece showing the strange light of night. This is right up my alley.

Updated: The local paper included my photo in their article about the exhibit.


Curious, The Cat

Details:

  • Location: The Arts Center, 700 SW Madison, Corvallis Oregon

  • Dates: November 12th through December 28th, 2019

  • Reception: Thursday November 21st, 5:30 - 7:30 PM during the Corvallis Art Walk.


The Road Less Traveled

This is the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild’s biennial member’s exhibit at the Giustina Gallery in the LaSells Stewart Center on the OSU campus. The theme for the exhibit is based on Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken”, offering members a chance to show different, new work. I will have four photographs in the show but haven’t yet decided on all of them. I think this one is far enough off the beaten path to make the cut though. Besides the geometrical content and beautiful cat, this piece will be matted and framed diagonally, something I rarely see.

Yes, I know, it’s Yet Another Cat Photo. But the diamond shape does different and strange things to the composition, hopefully enough to lift it out of the Cat Photo Mob.

Diamond Kitty

I’ve blogged about the benefits of Member’s shows before. I get to hang two pieces in this show but I haven’t yet decided what I want to showcase. It won’t be cats.
