The Corvallis Outdoor Farmers Markets operate every Saturday and Wednesday until the day before Thanksgiving, with a bonus market on Dec. 6.

Find fruits and vegetables, plants, or cut flowers, gathered and cultivated mushrooms, or are raising meat, poultry, eggs or honey.

What’s in season varies from week to week and is influenced by weather and production methods, including the tall greenhouses called “high tunnels” that some farmers use.

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.

The 32nd annual Día de los Muertos Exhibit, opening features work by 29 artists from three states, five altars or ofrendas honoring the dead along with a community altar, and a Day of the Dead Gift Shop with authentic crafts from Mexico presented by Suzanne Algara of Buganvilla Imports.

The artwork focuses on the Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead holiday, which blends the ancient harvest rituals of the Aztec god of death and the Roman Catholic holidays of All Saints and All Souls Days. Far from a somber holiday, Día de los Muertos is a playful celebration. In the words of Mexican poet Octavio Paz: “The Mexican frequents it [death], jokes about it, sleeps with it, and celebrates it. It is one of his favorite toys and most steadfast love.”

Can Indigenous artists, curators, and historians resist the colonial narrative of art museums when the museum itself is a colonizer institution? Reflecting on his own experience visiting the museum on the Gila River Indian Community, David Martínez argues that the path to resistance lay in the land itself.

With David Martínez (Akimel O'odham/Hia-Ced O'odham/Mexican), Professor of American Indian Studies and Transborder Studies, Arizona State University

Cosponsored by Oregon Humanities Center, History, Native American and Indigenous Studies, and the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies.
