Featuring Ruth Ross and Brenda Whitehill Schlenker

The Arts Council of Lake Oswego is excited to announce the exhibition, Another Word for Memory.

The exhibition features Ruth Ross and Brenda Whitehill Schlenker, whose practices use mixed media, photography, and textiles to create a dialogue with aging, family, and memory. Working across media, Ross finds inspiration in found objects, fabric, painting, printmaking, and photography to address the mysteries and memories of her family. Whitehill Schlenker’s macro photographs intimately capture how marks on the body are invitations to memory and story.

Our First Friday reception will feature a poetry reading by Leanne Grabel, who wrote a poem in response to Ruth Ross’ work. Join us from 5:30–7:00 p.m. for light bites.
