Lane Community College art instructor Kathleen Caprario was a textile design artist in New York City before she moved to Oregon. When she came to Eugene in the late ’70s her attention turned from textiles to landscapes.
In
A Critical Conversation, at Eugene Contemporary Art’s ANTI-AESTHETIC gallery through March 21, she merges her interest in pattern and the environment with the topic of race.
Sponsored by a Black Lives Matter artist grant from the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and a 2020 Lane Arts artist grant, the gallery show features work by eleven artists and four poets, as well as two panel discussions and a March 6 screen print performance.
