Get your writing time in and tell your story.

Accountability works. As does working alongside fellow writers in the sweet quiet of the Wordcrafters studio. No espresso machines screeching, annoying music playing, or folks chatting. Plus, you can get up and go to the bathroom whenever you need to! And you won’t have the distraction of laundry or other procrastination chores.

When you sign up to show up for your writing work, you’re so much more likely to actually do it. These low-key write-ins give you the space, time, and community to make it happen.

Date: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays

Time: 9:30 am-noon Tuesdays, 10:30 am-1 pm Thursdays, 6:30-9 pm Sundays

Price:
Members: $0 (Yes, Writing Time is free for Wordcrafters members!)
Access: $3 – if you have limited access to funds
Participant: $5 – the actual cost of this event
Patron: $10 – if you have more access to wealth/resources and can support others who need to pay less

Photography at Oregon’s 47th Annual Exhibit and Auction is nearly upon us! We’ve already received an impressive collection of print donations from noted photographers locally and nationally. So far, contributions include prints from artists such as Christopher Burkett, Christopher Landis, Ken Hawkins and Brian Lanker, as well as outstanding works from many exceptional local and regional artists, such as Michael Z. Taylor, Barbora Bakalarova, Sarah Grew, Walt O’Brien, and Doremus Scudder, just to name a very few.

As in years past, there will be three Auction Exhibits featuring prints from the Online Auction at Dot Dotson's Gallery in Eugene, one each in May, June and July. This year, the online auction and the three exhibits will run concurrently. You can view a select number of photographs at Dot Dotson's each month and view and bid on the entire selection of over 85 photographs online at auctria.events/PAO2025.

The first installment of the PAO Auction Exhibit opens Friday, May 2nd
at Dot Dotson’s Gallery, 1668 Willamette St. Eugene, OR 97401

There will be an Opening Reception from 5-6 p.m., complete with wine and hors d’oeuvres. We hope to see you there.

The exhibit will run all of May, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. till 1:00 p.m.

The Online Auction itself will be open for bids starting May 1st and continuing through July 31st. The entire selection of photographs will be online.

We are looking forward to an active turnout for the 2025 Auction! Remember, that all auction proceeds go toward promoting and sponsoring photography exhibits and events by PAO, as they have for the past 45 years. Our success is directly due to the generosity of many fine photographers donating work, giving back to the medium we all love, as well as the generosity and commitment of our bidders.

Join the virtuoso violinist for a glass of wine and an informal chat about his artistic vision and career in music. The event is free to attend, but alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are available for purchase from Oregon Wine L.A.B.

Everyone is welcome to join in each of these events, whether you have never picked up a disc or are a seasoned veteran! Bring a couple putters if you have them, or you can borrow some of ours.

Players will pay a small fee ($5 for adults, $3 for juniors [18 or younger]) to play a 9 hole disc golf putting course at Alton Baker Park. Youth with the 1Pass can play for free.

Players will compete for weekly prizes and earn entries into a raffle that will be held at the end of the series finale!

For an extra $1 per round, players can also play for cash each week! The extra $1 will be added to a growing money pot. If a player makes all 9 putts with the designated "money" putter from each station, you win the money pot! Multiple winners in a week will split the pot. Any remaining funds at the end of the series finale will go towards the club fundraiser.

These events are fundraisers for both the Eugene Disc Golf Club (EDGC) junior grant fund as well as UPlay Disc Golf ( @uplaydiscgolf ).

See you out on the course!
