Join us for an intimate gathering as artist Victoria Smits gives insights into her work and practice. Her exhibition Be Right Back is on display at Scalehouse Gallery January 9 - February 27, 2026.

Victoria Smits is an interdisciplinary artist and writer living in Eugene, Oregon. Her practice begins in attention: what she sees, what she notices, what energies affect her body. Smits explores the intersection of these conceptual discoveries with research-driven work including installation, textiles, sculpture, video, sound, drawing, and writing. Smits’ work has been shown at Manchester Craft and Design Centre, UK, Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, IL, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Old Stonehouse in Brooklyn, NY, and Craft Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA, among others. Smits' poetry can be found in the edited collection, Gone Feral: Unruly Women and the Undoing of Normative Femininity through Demeter Press. She studied English, Art, and Secondary Education at Calvin University, received an MA in English Education with a concentration in creative writing from University of Buffalo, and an MFA through the School of Art Institute of Chicago.
