Piecing It Together

at Maude Kerns Art Center, Eugene, Oregon, USA
19 June-17 July 2026

As Kolaj Magazine co-founder Ric Kasini Kadour says in an editorial in Kolaj Magazine: “Collage is an enormous tree, its branches as widespread and diverse as its roots.” Collage has a rich history creating community, and this art form has been used to process unimaginable world and individual events. Collage artists demonstrate what salvage, collaboration, creativity, and healing can look like. Join us to celebrate scissors, ephemera, and glue.
