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.

Springfield, OR – Join Springfield Public Library for a free showing of the timeless whodunit Murder on the Orient Express (1974) at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 16th at the Wildish Community Theater in downtown Springfield.

About the movie:
Hercule Poirot, world renowned private detective and Sleuth extraordinaire, departs on the famous luxury train, The Orient Express, on his way to London from Istanbul. The train strangely booked a larger number of passengers than usual, but Hercule settles in for a restful ride all the same. That is until a wealthy American named Ratchett tries to hire Poirot to be his eyes and ears on the train, for he fears that someone is out to do him in. Hercule declines, but soon Ratchett’s fears are fully realized when he is found dead. Now Poirot must undertake his most famous murder mystery. Hosting the most Star-Studded cast ever assembled, Agatha Christie’s most famous novel is brilliantly adapted in this classic Mystery film.
