MILL DISTRICT ARTS GALLERY
Acrylics, a study of color and texture
February 6 through February 27
Opening Reception: February 6, 4 to 8 p.m.
Brian Doeden’s work is inspired by the rich, bold colors found in nature. The organic chromatic bursts found in his paintings come from the brilliant hues of autumn, intense sunsets and the freshness of the outdoors. In studying color, playful mixtures and its emotive effects, Brian created his gridded square collage color studies.
Mill District Arts Gallery is also involved in the Women and Water Rights: Rivers of Regeneration during March. Learn more at http://womenandwater.net.

OLSON GALLERY AT BETHEL UNIVERSITY
“Photographs” and Paintings: Aaron Van Dyke
February 4 through March 28
Artist Talk and Opening Reception: February 4, 6 p.m. in the Eastlund Room, CLC 2nd floor
This exhibition explores abstraction through camera-less photographs and complex paintings. They are made by sandwiching sheet film between two mirrors and exposing the film to light using a photographic flash. These photographs, by nature of the way they're made, are attempts to make the most unmediated images possible.

THE SOAP FACTORY
New Land of Milk and Honey
February 20 through April 4
Opening Reception: February 20, 7 to 11 p.m.; Performance 8 to 8:30 p.m.
Closing Party: April 3, 8 p.m.
New Land of Milk and Honey is an experiment in communal living, an investigation into the history of Midwestern communes and an embrace of collaborative artmaking. It brings together performance, fashion, design and visual art in a low-brow Gesamtkunstwerk. Irony is eschewed the insistence that we are the arbiters of our happiness.
