Brrrrrrrrrrr!
It's so cold outside. But if we can hop from cozy
restaurant to cozy bar to cozy bed, surely we can
jump around for the handful of art openings going
down at this month's Last Friday Art Walk.
Some stops aren't showing this month (while artists
hibernate) but there are a handful of brand spankin'
new stops to pique your curiousity. Check out the
newest venue on the walk at Gallery Obscura at 1255
Railroad Ave., where David Norem exhibits his work
(pictured right) in a show called "Ultranopolis."
New Frontier Market on West 8th hosts Kathleen Howard
Piper's mixed media works in glass, wood and oil paint
while Elemental Play on West 2nd shows sculptural
works carved by Cynthius Scanlon. In other news, Immortal
Souls is back from its hibernation, and Possum Place
features sculptures crafted from Legos. There's a
10 percent chance of rain, so bring your umbrella.

Want
to remodel your home into a self-sustaining lodge
of gentle love toward this island Earth? Well,
your lifestyle will be accomodated at this weekend's
Good Earth Home, Garden & Living Show
at the Lane County Fairgrounds. More than 40 seminars
covering everything from green design to naturescaping,
90 exhibits featuring eco-friendly products and
technologies, seven pavilions of exhibitors (including
food, music and entertainment stages) and a green
building and solar home tour at 2 pm on Saturday
complete this utterly decked-out show for the
wholistic homeowner. Admission is just a donation
of canned food to benefit FOOD for Lane County.

When
photojournalist Paola Gianturco
travels the world, she brings her
camera, a notebook and a strong
desire to root out and chronicle
the women who are bringing hope
to seemingly hopeless conditions.
From Betty Makoni, founder of the
Girl Child Network aimed at rape
prevention in Zimbabwe, to Eugene's
own Susan Sygall, founder of Mobility
International USA, which motivates
disabled people from around the
world to lead their own organizations,
Gianturco culled years of photographs,
interviews and research into her
new book Women Who Light The
Dark. Gianturco will discuss
her work at Temple Beth Israel.
