🖍️ Youth Art Open Exhibit: on hiatus 🎨
Thank you to everyone who helped make Art Center East’s first annual Youth Art Open Exhibit in Fall 2025 a meaningful success. We’re grateful to the teachers, parents, guardians, young artists, community members, volunteers, ACE staff, and supporters who contributed their time, energy, and enthusiasm to the exhibit. We’re also grateful to the funders – including the La Grande Optimist Club – who helped make the exhibit possible.
We’ve decided to place the Youth Art Open Exhibit on hiatus for 2026. Although we’re disappointed not to feature the exhibit this year, we’re again committed to investing the time, staffing, resources, and support this event deserves in the future.
Our Orlaske Gallery and Main Gallery will instead feature a substantial selection of artwork from ACE’s Private Collection from October 28 - November 14. Works will be available for purchase. We’re planning some fun and engaging ways to interact with the collection. Stay tuned!
We look forward to sharing updates about the Youth Art Open Exhibit as plans develop. If you’d like to be notified directly about the exhibit’s return, please email [email protected] with your contact information.
