Migrations 2025

The Art Loft, Astoria, Oregon, May 2-26, 2025. The Pacific NW has long been a stage for Migrations. Peoples, cultures, economics, flora and fauna, and now climate, arrive or leave, sometimes through choice, often from necessity.  In this exhibit CQA artists capture this idea through materials and techniques that have migrated from their original purpose of warming our bodies to stirring hearts with awareness of change and movement around us.
