LA GRANDE, Ore. – The solo exhibition of 2022 Eastern Oregon University graduate Sophia Aimone, whose artistic vision comes to life at Art Center East this Friday, May 3, 2024, is titled “all tangled up.”
“This opportunity presented itself to me, and I love La Grande,” Aimone said. “Having worked at Art Center East, I felt a strong connection to the community and wanted to return to share my work.”
The exhibit features 29 pieces that reflect Aimone’s intent to, “make people feel invited into a creative world that doesn’t exist outside of my paintings.” Using pastel colors, her work aims to establish a playful world, inviting viewers to experience her unique creative expression.
Aimone credits her preparation and confidence for the exhibit to the education she received at Eastern Oregon University
“The professors were exceptional, and the small program size allowed me to acquire the tools I needed to move forward confidently,” said Aimone.
The opening reception for “all tangled up” is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Art Center East, 1006 Penn Ave, La Grande. For more information about the exhibition and Sophia Aimone’s work, visit Art Center East’s website or contact the center directly.
