When I travel, I love visiting galleries featuring local artists. On this Ashland trip, I had the…read morepleasure of wandering into Art on First. It's directly across the side street from the Ashland Springs hotel and featured a nice slice of interesting creative items, across many mediums. I enjoyed a nice chat with the owner, and left with a notebook featuring a cover from a cigar box, a leather backbone, and some pretty heavy duty paper. Of course, I didn't need it, but the whole heft, artistry, and how if fit in my hand, all came together. I felt it was a little pricey, but good value and my local support.

It was a sunny and worn Ashland morning, so Gayle and I decided to take a nice walk down to the…read moreSouthern Oregon University Campus and among other things wander through the Schneider Museum of Art. It's a relatively small space that consists of 2 large gallery spaces, plus a little bit within the entrance area, and all situated within SOU's Art School campus. There's some nice less formal displays within those buildings as well. A voluntary donation of $5 is requested at a "free will" box at the entrance to the museum. We happened upon the "Fighting Men: Golub, Voulkos, Kirby" Exhibition. Most interesting were the various comic book displays by Jack Kirby and Leon Golub's cautionary paintings that depict the violence stemming from political power gone awry. Bridging this gap are Peter Voulkos' powerful ceramic pieces. You can easily (and slowly) spend up to ~30 minutes here. I would also recommend entering and leaving the Museum on the University side, just so you can enjoy wandering around this pretty campus.

Pricing is very fair, although might be considered expensive by Ashland standards. Owner really knows her stuff and is obviously passionate about what she's doing.

We saw many great things but I knew there was an "art Gallery" of some kind underneath a bridge. It sounded peculiar so of course I had to check it out. We drove over to the spot I knew it was to be at. when we walked under the bridge I smiled, as I saw the paintings above us. The underside of the bridge had a grid of support for the bridge. The grid made rectangle frames which had over a dozen different paintings. Outside of Vatican City I don't think I have ever stared at a series of frescos on a ceiling. some were really good, a couple not so much, in my humble opinion. But it was a fantastic opportunity to gaze on framed art without cost or a line of people behind us. It felt very freeing. Hopefully others are able to search out and find this amazing spot, The Path to Joy and Unity.
