January Newsletter

The year opens like a blank canvas — full of possibility, texture, and color yet to be discovered. January is a time for setting intentions, dusting off projects, and saying yes to new creative adventures. In this month’s newsletter you’ll find opportunities to learn, exhibit, volunteer, explore, and support the arts right here in our community.

LEARN: We have a great lineup of classes for your to explore, watercolor, stained glass, and a new fiber arts offering: Thread Intuition! You’ll learn to coax gorgeous natural hues from local leaves, flowers, and minerals—then turn them into your own hand-dyed embroidery threads. Guided by an expert instructor, you’ll combine dyeing and stitching techniques to create a one-of-a-kind textile artwork that’s as unique as you are.

EXHIBIT: Did you know that if you are a member of the Silverton Arts Association, you are invited to display your work at the Silverton Library? Yes! Our volunteer Joe Craig rotates member artwork on a schedule. Become a member and be part of the next wave of displays.

VOLUNTEER: The Art Association is volunteer run and we always need good people to join our team. If you’re interested in volunteering, reach out and let us know!

A NOTE FROM THE SAA BOARD

We’re delighted to share that board member and outgoing President Jonathan Case has been awarded the Distinguished Service Award by the Silverton Chamber of Commerce.

The Distinguished Service Award is presented annually to a local individual for making a meaningful impact on our community in a specific area. Jonathan’s thoughtful leadership, generosity of spirit, and commitment to creative community initiatives have made a lasting difference in Silverton — and we couldn’t be more proud to see his contributions recognized.

In other exciting civic news, Anne Pinkowski was selected by Mayor Jason Freilinger as one of six citizen members of the Silverton Public Art Policy Task Force. The task force is chartered to review and provide recommendations to the City Council regarding the creation of a public art policy for the City of Silverton. This work will help shape how public art is supported, commissioned, maintained, and experienced in our city for years to come.

NEW BOARD OFFICERS

Silverton thrives when creativity and civic engagement meet — and we are grateful for the many hands helping build a more vibrant, imaginative, and welcoming community. That includes our new board officers for 2026!

It’s our pleasure to share that the Arts Association board determined these Silverton Arts members for officer positions:

Micheal Turner: President

Anna Coleman: Treasurer

Michael Baggetta: Secretary

If you have any questions for these new leaders or just want to say thank you, please reach out to board@silvertonarts.org!

We’re currently recruiting more board members to ensure a strong leadership team at Silverton Arts — for more information, and to apply for service, please visit https://www.silvertonarts.org/jointheboard.
