About this Exhibition:
Eugene Bennett was an artist, educator, community activist, native son, and a founder of the Rogue Gallery & Art Center.
After receiving his BA from the Art Institute of Chicago, he returned to the Rogue Valley to live and create for the next 52 years.
During Mr. Bennett’s productive career, his home and studio were filled with works he kept for his own enjoyment.
This exhibition is a unique opportunity to select one of
these works for your personal collection. Works include paintings, mixed
media, collage, assemblage, sculpture, and ceramics. Many
important works were purchased by collectors while Mr. Bennett was
alive. The selection of work on display is supported with
paintings on loan from the collection of Fitz and Ann Brewer. These
works
provide a context for the arc of Mr. Bennett’s career. Thank you
to Ann for loaning the paintings to our exhibition.
Thank you to the Estate of Eugene Bennett for enabling these works to be offered to the public. In accordance with Mr. Bennett’s wishes, the proceeds from this sale will benefit the Rogue Gallery & Art Center and the Eugene Bennett Scholarship Fund for the Visual Arts of The Oregon Community Foundation. This exhibition is sponsored by the Horton Family Foundation and Lawrence’s Jewelry.
Please celebrate with us the art of Eugene’s time and place.
The public is invited to attend a free RECEPTION held on Friday, May 18 from 5:00pm to 8:00pm during Third Friday in Downtown Medford. Food and wine provided by Harry & David, Rogue Creamery, and RoxyAnn Winery will be served. The exhibition is generously sponsored by Lawrence’s Jewelers and the Horton Family Foundation.
