Dee Vadnais: Her Family’s Story in the Oregon Landscape presents the artwork of Deer Island artist, Dee Vadnais, contextualized in the story of her family’s six generations in Oregon and the creative communities inspiring her art. From the original Aurora Colony settlement to the Rhapsody Project, this exhibition celebrates a sampling of Oregon’s creative communities, rural history, and cultural heritage through the Vadnais family explorations of visual art, experimental architecture, intentional communities, and roots music. Organized through the nonprofit Art in Oregon’s Artistic Heritage Program, which celebrates without prejudice or generalizations the role of creativity in artists’ families towards inspiring people to appreciate traditions of expression in their own heritage.
