The “Art for All Seasons Members Show” is a unique celebration of community artists and their work. The Center’s largest exhibit of the year, it features the tremendously varied artistry of Art Center members as well as high-quality, functional, and decorative pottery created by members of the Center’s Club Mud Ceramics Cooperative. The 2025 exhibit showcases impressive 2-D and 3-D pieces in a variety of media by over 160 artists.

The TEAL Artist Coop will opens its seasonal store on Oct. 31 at 328 SW 2nd St. in downtown Corvallis. Every October, the team of artists transforms an otherwise vacant storefront into a gallery offering unique gifts, hand-made in the Willamette Valley. The store will be open through Dec. 28.

This year, 21 artists are participating in TEAL, and the gallery—staffed by the artists—will sell fine works of fiber, leather, glass, wood, mixed media and paper, as well as ceramics, jewelry and paintings.

TEAL makes a charitable donation earmarked for art education from a portion of its annual gallery proceeds. This year’s recipient will be Mountain View Elementary School in Corvallis.

“Music” Brings Harmony to Gallery Calapooia
This holiday season, Gallery Calapooia will hum with rhythm, color, and creativity as artists Anna Harris and Shannon Ross take center stage in their joint exhibition, “Music.”

The show invites viewers to see — and feel — the pulse of melody and movement through paint, form, and imagination.

Artist Bio: Anna Harris

Anna enjoys learning new ways to mix design, symbolism, and media throughout her compositions. Over time, she has found her greatest artistic passion lies in the study and personification of nature. Advocating for the environment and the importance of biodiversity, Anna often paints animals in a way that highlights their beauty, value, and unique quirks. Art offers Anna a way to appreciate and explore nature in a hands-on way. In the show, “Music,” Anna engages with an art form she always wished she had pursued, music, in a variety of forms that are most familiar to her: acrylic, watercolor, and ink.

Anna is a founding member of Gallery Calapooia.

Artist Bio: Shannon Ross

Shannon loves making ceramics that bring merriment and joy to everyday items. Her influences for her hand-built vessels and sculpture range from Art Nouveau illustrations of flowers to natural elements like birds, plants and animals. For her newest body of work she was influenced by focusing on music and how she could incorporate that into her whimsical animals. A fun combination, playfully blending animal attributes, Shannon creates Ocarinas and chimes as well as gives new life inhabited by her whimsical creatures to a discarded flute and clarinet, resulting in truly one-of-a-kind work.

Holiday Lights are set to sparkle again on Oregon’s Adventure Coast this season at Shore Acres State Park. Perched on the rugged cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Shore Acres State Park is famous for its beautiful 7-acre botanical gardens and Japanese lily pond. Visitors get a chance to stroll through this holiday tradition every night from 4:30pm to 9:00pm, Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve – including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It has become a real holiday tradition for the whole family. Admission is always free! However, parking at Shore Acres any time of the year is $10.

If you’re planning to drive, you will need a special Time-Specific Parking Pass in advance again this year. In an effort to reduce wait times and backed up traffic conditions, you’ll be required to make a Parking Pass reservation to visit. These Parking Passes are per vehicle, not per person. The passes are only $10 per vehicle, unless you already have an annual park pass (see Important Park Pass Information below). Either way, an advance online reservation is required. Parking Passes are managed by the Oregon State Parks.
