"The Educator's Palette: Celebrating Creativity of Art Teachers from Eastern Oregon" July 2026
Crossroads welcomes active and retired art educator's from across Eastern Oregon: Abbey Prevot, Jennifer Godwin, Jessie Street, Alice Thomas, and Ashley Ballard. Summer is the perfect time to celebrate our art teachers! This exhibition will display a wide variety of mediums from egg tempura, acrylics, ceramics, fiber art, oils, and mixed media. Through their work, these artists demonstrate the lifelong impact of teaching art and nurturing creativity. "The Educator's Palette" honors their unique artistic voices while reflecting their shared dedication to inspiring others. Frequently, art educators channel their creative efforts into cultivating artistic development in their students, often placing their own artistic pursuits on the back burner. This exhibit serves as an opportunity to present the artwork and imaginative talent that have shaped the artistic journeys of countless young art students over the years. "The Educator's Palette" will be on exhibit from July 3rd to August 1st, 2026.
