City Walls at City Hall features The Workhouse

City Walls at City Hall, an arts initiative of the City of Bend Arts, Beautification and Culture Commission, is pleased to announce a special exhibition featuring the works of studio artists from The Workhouse.

As a recipient of the 2014 Arts, Beautification and Culture Commission’s Annual Award, The Workhouse has proven to be a key contributor to the cultural life of Bend. The Workhouse is model for promoting the engagement between artists and the community through their inviting workshop/studio space and high quality classes. We are thrilled to include Workhouse artists in our continuing effort to shine a spotlight on local arts and craftsmen at City Hall.

The exhibit, coordinated by Cari Brown, features Lisa Marie Sipe, Abney Wallace, Christian Brown, Natalie V Mason, and Karen Eland. Ms. Brown shared, “Each artist brings their own background and individual texture to both The Workhouse and the expanding artistic landscape of Bend. Shown together their work offers us a glimpse into the diverse and vibrant community of artists that now call Bend home.”

The show will begin at a public reception with the artists from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, October 2, at City Hall, 710 NW Wall Street. The show will remain on display through March, 2016.

The City of Bend Arts, Beautification & Culture Commission aims to inspire the community through art. For more information: www.bendoregon.gov/abc.
