- David Bjurstrom
- Not many artists work in graphic pencil... and for good reason. It's so hard! But David Bjurstrom makes it look easy. His drawings are so detailed, they're often mistaken for photographs. See how this Ashland artist captures the world in black and white.

- Portland Youth Philharmonic Photo Project
- The Portland Youth Philharmonic is sponsoring a collaborative music/photography project inspired by Aaron Copeland's "The Tenderland Suite" and the photography of Walker Evans. We follow a George Fox student taking pictures inspired by both. Her photos and others will be exhibited when the PYP plays the Copeland piece in March.

- Polly's Cakes
- Polly Schoonmaker's first degree is in Art History. Impressionist paintings and pastry cases have occupied the same space in her mind for years. After graduating from college, Polly moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico to work as a chef. However, the sketch books she kept of what cakes could look like loomed larger over time, and she eventually moved to New York to study at the renowned Peter Kump's New York Cooking School. In 1993 Polly moved back to Portland, Oregon to form Polly's Cakes. Her fresh outlook and original designs have attracted national media attention throughout the years.
