An eclectic little gallery - lots of fun. It is kind of out of the way, but worth making your way to. I found my own Christmas present there.

I would rank the gallery higher if all the shows were consistently powerful. The January-February exhibit was astonishing and powerful. The current show is a bit bland except for the installation piece. However Maude Kerns does have some good resident artists and some blockbuster shows. And, frankly, I am just grateful for any visual art to be found in Eugene, a city which is appallingly thin on galleries and museums. Top notch artists live in the area but in many cases show and sell their works in other parts of the US and Europe.

We came across this while coming back from Hendricks park. Stopy by and see the displays if you're here. They had a fabulous Day of the Dead and wonderful stories about the people at each alter, including one of the original founders. Beautiful job ladies.

Maude Kerns is wonderful. Always something fascinating and interesting to see. I've spent many hours there while planning to look at something for a few minutes. Sort of like the University's Spam Museum.

We recently went here for the first time, as we visited the annual jello mold competition. It is located in a small vintage church, which makes a nice (though small) setting for checking out local art displays. They have a nice range of class options for kids, too.
