It’s very a present, and you need to go see it.
But I also want to tell you about the venue. Midtown Arts is the overall base a few floors of the constructing, and the upper amounts are condos. It was concluded in 2021 and is largely committed to dance. There are rehearsal halls the exact same measurements as the two significant Hult Heart levels. The making properties all the major non-earnings arts companies, from the Lane Arts Council to Chamber Songs Amici.
The artwork gallery spaces were constructed into it from the commencing, so almost everything is staged and lit to the highest benchmarks any visible artist could wish for.

I also generally like to emphasize exhibits at what I contact small pocket galleries, and there’s a gem at O’Brien Imaging on 2833 Willamette in Eugene referred to as “In Memoriam: Soon after the Vacation Farm Fire” by Sandi O’Brien. Several of these richly textured and generally lush photographs are infra-pink, inverting the black and white environment. She is honoring sacred locations like Delta Campground that have been shed in the hearth. It is a lovely show–do check out to see it.
