Unwritten Futures. Giustina Gallery, The LaSells Stewart Center, 875 SW 26^th St, Corvallis. 8 am – 5 pm, Monday thru Friday.

There are no definitive answers, Unwritten Futures invites viewers into a space of openness and inquiry. Visit Unwritten Futures | Giustina Gallery for more info.

Jessie Rose Vala: Sympathetic Spells. Fairbanks Hall, 220 SW 26^th St, Corvallis. 9 am – 5 pm. This installation is envisioned as a chamber for grief and spells.

These contemporary lachrymatories serve as symbolic gestures—holders for tears that activate not only the calming functions of our parasympathetic nervous system but also its wandering potential, inviting spells of deep connection, acts of care, and listening.
