Please go to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ArtduJourGallery) for any further updates.
Featured Wall Celebrating Fall Colors will Transition to a Winter Themed Exhibit
When one of our artist members must leave the co-operative, or for one reason or another is unable to fulfill their Featured Artist month, our board of directors must scramble to fill an open slot. This month a combined exhibit by participating AdJ members built around the theme “Celebrating Fall Colors” has received positive reviews from our art loving friends and visitors. In the interest of keeping with our motto “Always Something New”, the remainder of 2019 will see a transition from autumn to winter for a special treat for the upcoming holiday season.

Jeanne LaRae-Lagano’s resume lists many accomplishments as an exhibiting and published artist. Her current duties with the Ashland Art Center includes gallery curator and manager, studio artist, window display, and instructor. She is also a board member “Artist Liaison” with the Ashland Gallery Association. As her exhibit continues into November Jeanne has also planned a transition into the winter season with some new paintings depicting appropriate winter scenes. This will provide an opportunity to those who have already seen her October display another chance to see more of what makes her work so captivating.
November will also bring a new look throughout the gallery as we undergo our quarterly change-out with a lot of fresh materiel ready to be presented. We still actively seek new artists living in the Rogue Valley region who would like to join our co-operative and display their work to the Medford community. Membership includes an active role in the Art in Bloom festival in May, as well as our monthly Third Friday event. Media to be juried for membership includes pottery, sculpture, photography and jewelry.

Show Your Paper
Exhibition Dates: Sept. 20 – Oct. 19, 2019 Entry Due Date: July 11, 2019
Juror: Kathryn Markel
Exhibition Description: Open to artists who use paper as their substrate or primary medium. Works made on, or of paper may include, (but are not limited to) – painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, collage, cut paper, paper constructions, etc. All mediums on paper will be considered.
The application fee for our juried exhibitions is $30 for up to three images of work, plus one detail image if necessary. A limited number of artists who experience financial hardship may be exempt from paying the entry fee; please send us an email to request a fee waiver:[email protected]. All applicants should submit an artist’s statement about their body of work. Accepted artworks must not exceed 72″ horizontally and must not have been previously shown at WMG.
Juror: Kathyrn Markel, Principal, Kathyrn Markel Fine Art
Kathyrn Markel Fine Arts, established in 1975, specializes in contemporary works on paper with the addition of paintings by the young avant-garde. The gallery is run by women and women also comprise 81% of the gallery’s represented artists. Located in New York City – Chelsea and Bridgehampton, NY. www.markelfinearts.com
Exhibition Description: Truth as a Contested Concept is open to all artists whose work addresses the theme.
We used to think of “truth” as being absolute. That our choices were binary. But today “truth” is a contested concept. [how so?] One of the many questions that come up is whether truth is subject to human interpretation. Does truth change according to circumstances so that what is true for a particular time is not true at a different time? Does this mean that truth for one person may not necessarily be the same for everyone? If this is the case then can anyone really know “the truth”? The juror is interested in creating a dialog around what we consider truth to be. Do we feel that truth is important? Does the constant wearing away of our belief in truth jeopardize our well being?
We encourage entries of recent works, but there is no restriction in the creation date. Accepted artworks must not exceed 72″ horizontally and must not have been previously shown at WMG. The application fee for our juried exhibitions is $30 for up to three images of work, plus one detail image if necessary. A limited number of artists who experience financial hardship may be exempt from paying the entry fee; please send us an email to request a fee waiver: [email protected]. All applicants should submit an artist’s statement about their body of work. Accepted artworks must not exceed 72″ horizontally and must not have been previously shown at WMG.
Juror: Indira Freitas Johnson
Award winning artist and educator, Indira Freitas Johnson’s passion to make art part of everyday life and to involve local communities in the art process is evident in all her work. Influenced by an artist father and a mother who was a social activist, Johnson believes strongly that art and activism are a powerful combination for social change.
Born in Mumbai, India, Johnson received her undergraduate degree from the University of Bombay and the Sir JJ Institute of Art and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards, including the prestigious Illinois Governors Award for the Arts and Chicago Magazine named her the 2013 Chicagoan of the Year.
Johnson’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is represented in numerous private and public collections including the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago Transit Authority, Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence, RI.
Ten Thousand Ripples, Johnson’s Chicago area Public Art, Peace and Civic Engagement initiative uses art as a catalyst for conversations about peace and nonviolence.

Featured Artist Mary Jo Heath
Mary Jo Heat “Blue Collar” exhibit. Image provided by the artist. 2/19
Mary Jo Heath was born in Coos Bay, Oregon and moved to the Rogue Valley with her family when she was five. After attending school in Central Point and Medford High School, she went on to earn two bachelor degrees from Southern Oregon College and the University of Oregon. Now retired after teaching art in public schools for more than 30 years, her inspiration for this month’s featured exhibit comes from watching workers and their machinery toiling around her neighborhood. The results offer a vehicle for expression of color, shape and texture from her unique perspective.

Guest Artist Carl Seyboldt
The historical artwork of Carl Seyboldt on display at Art du Jour gallery through March 2019.
While Carl Seyboldt specializes in painting and drawing wildlife, western scenes and historical subject matter, rarely does he have an opportunity to display illustrations that his advanced art students through Rogue Community College can recognize. A group of mystical castles with surrounding caricature serves as a model toward understanding perspective in a two-dimensional drawing. These gems are rarely seen in the public arena since most art shows he participates in are geared toward western artists. Don’t miss this opportunity to see Carl’s exquisite artwork.

November 23, 2018 – January 11, 2019
Amy Godard’s work includes stylized interpretations of characters from folklore; mandalas and
icons of plants; and explorations of line, color, shape and symmetry. Her work is inspired by
nature and folklore and she hopes to inspire her viewers to connect to nature and to forge a
relationship to old stories that have shaped us as people.
Born and raised in the Rogue Valley, Amy Godard is a local artist with a strong connection to
Southern Oregon. She holds a degree in Art and Spanish from the University of Oregon, and has
background studies in dance, education and folklore. Amy also studied for one year abroad at the
Escuela de Artes Plásticas in the University of Guanajuato, Mexico. She has returned to Mexico
many times and is inspired by popular Mexican Art Movements. She describes her creative
process “I use both illustration and paper cut stencils to create my images. My paper cut outs
serve as mandalas and icons of the plants that inspire me. My wood cut prints and lino cut prints
represent stylized interpretations of characters from folklore.”
