The Ruth and Jim Howland Community OPEN exhibition is a longstanding tradition at The  Arts Center. Everyone living in Linn or Benton County, the two counties The Arts Center serves, is invited to bring one artwork of their own hand. All pieces will be hung for display, salon style, until the walls are full. All ages from the very young through the very mature are invited to participate.

The exhibit is a true celebration of the artistic activity and enjoyment of the two counties. It is not so much about how well you can make art, but about the fact that you enjoy making and looking at art. So join the exhibit and celebrate with us!
