Exhibits & Workshops

Paintings by Curry Arts member artist Chris Keusink will be on display on the second floor of Curry Public Library in December 2024 through January 2025.

A reception will be held on December 12, 2024, from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm in the upstairs conference room.  Chris will be available for questions during the reception.

About the artist:

Chris paints local landscapes in acrylics.  He was raised in coastal southwest Oregon, which is a painter’s heaven, with its ocean, rivers, mountains, and lush forests.  He prefers realism-impressionism; foregrounds are highly detailed but fade into impressionistic backdrops.

Chris states that his passion is to create “I wish I was there” paintings of local scenes, often easily recognizable but also sometimes the special secret spots he’s found through fishing, camping, and backpacking.

What does he mean by “I wish I was there” art?  Simply that.  His paintings should take you there . . . and have you thinking, “I wish I was there.”

The group of painters known as OOPS! (Oregon Outdoor Painters Society!) will display their plein air works at the Curry Public Library November 6, 2023 through January 31, 2024.

OOPS! is a very informal group of plein air painters who meet, whenever the weather allows, throughout Curry County.  There’s no instruction, critique, or show-and-tell when we’re done.  And, when we accumulate enough paintings, we have a group show such as this one!

An Artist Talk and Reception will be held on Thursday, November 30, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Library Meeting Hall.

Participating artists include:  Laura Lee Cundiff, Tammy DeLaney, Alexandra Eyer, Carol Koch, Shelley MacIntosh, and Patricia Renner.

Please stop by to view these terrific works by artists who brave the elements to create their art!
