The Maude Kerns Art Center presents the 33rd annual Art for All Seasons Members Show and Club Mud Ceramics Holiday Show & Sale, opening on Friday, November 21, with a Reception from 5 – 7 pm, and on view through Friday, December 19. Exhibit receptions are free and open to the public. The Title Sponsor of the 2025 Membership Show is Edgewater Furniture & Mattress. Owner of Edgewater Furniture & Mattress Jane Gilbert describes the reason for the company’s support of the Art Center in this way: “We are supporting the Maude Kerns Art Center because we believe now more than ever, as a community, we have to support the arts. We need to band together.”
The “Art for All Seasons Members Show” is a unique celebration of community artists and their work. The Center’s largest exhibit of the year, it features the tremendously varied artistry of Art Center members as well as high-quality, functional, and decorative pottery created by members of the Center’s Club Mud Ceramics Cooperative. The 2025 exhibit showcases impressive 2-D and 3-D pieces in a variety of media by over 160 artists.
A special feature of the annual Members Show is the Holiday Gift Shop, presenting unique, handmade gift items in a range of prices created by local member artists. Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to “Give the Gift of Art” this holiday season!
Eugene artist Jon King, a member of the Center’s onsite Club Mud Ceramics Cooperative, shows his ceramic pieces in the Club Mud Holiday Show as well as two colorful, abstract watercolors in the Members Show. King experiments with different kinds of firing techniques in his wheel-thrown ceramics, incorporating a range of glazes in natural colors and hues.
Eugene photographer Paul Machu displays two works in the Members Art Show, including a vibrant photograph in pink and shades of red titled The Art of Italy 1, featuring a view of the façades of buildings on an island in Venice with a skiff in the foreground. Machu describes his work: “My images arise from a life-long love of photography, both as an art form, and as a reveal of my particular view of the world.”
Eugene artist Patti McNutt exhibits two, oil on canvas still lifes of flowers in this year’s exhibit, including one called Cheeky, a loosely painted and richly colored bouquet of yellow sunflowers in a blue vase. McNutt exhibits her work in Eugene/Springfield, in Roseburg, and on the Oregon Coast. She is a member of the Plein Air Painters of Lane County, and has exhibited frequently at the Maude Kerns Art Center, including in exhibits at the Center’s satellite Gallery at the Airport.
