This collection from our arts, media and technology students shows diverse interests that attempt to engage with questions of identity, subjectivity, technology and the ways we perceive our position in the world and others around us. Whether the threshold being negotiated is that of the author's individuality or the fields of art or design themselves, these works ask the viewer to participate with them from the inside.

• Honoring Patricia Clark •

At Scalehouse we are always looking for ways to provide valuable programming, stay connected with our community, and innovate. It is bittersweet, at best, that we are adding 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 to our program offerings.

As are many in our Central Oregon arts community, we are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend, founding Board member, and driving force behind Scalehouse. She was more than a master printmaker, professor and arts advocate – she pushed us to learn, to grow and most of all, to believe in ourselves. And, she will be deeply missed.

We were fortunate to present this initiative to Pat before her passing, The Patricia Clark Studio. The Studio will honor Pat’s legacy and her original vision of Scalehouse by providing free studio space to working artists, a space for arts education programming, and a place to remember Pat. She gifted Scalehouse her collection of sketchbooks and selected arts which will be housed at the Studio.

The Patricia Clark Studio will be located next door to the Scalehouse Gallery in the Franklin Crossing Building, in the Tin Pan Alley.

In memory of Patricia Clark, and to support of the studio, you can donate directly to the initiative here: https://www.scalehouse.org/patricia-clark-studio ❤️
