Living Room Gallery Art Program
Current Display
The current artwork display features Criollo paintings by Erick Rodriguez. Originally from Venezuela, Erick fell in love with art as a child. Erick’s art is a testament to the dynamic nature of culture, identity, and artistic expression. In the vast realm of artistic expression, Criollo artwork stands out as a profound manifestation of cultural fusion and evolution. Rooted in the diverse heritage of Latin America which is a fusion of indigenous, European, and African influences, Criollo artwork encapsulates the complexities of identity and heritage, while seamlessly blending traditional and contemporary elements. Criollo artwork transcends geographical boundaries and creates a visual language that speaks to the complexity of Latin American heritage.

Exhibit Space
The purpose of the Living Room Gallery is to support and encourage the pursuit and appreciation of creativity by displaying the finest examples of artwork created in and around our community. It provides an opportunity to honor and celebrate cultural aspects of our community. The first artist display was in June 2012. More than 25 local artists have displayed their art in the Living Room Gallery since the beginning of the program.
The exhibit space is located in the central fireplace area at the Tualatin Public Library. This is a large but cozy room with a huge central fireplace and comfortable chairs and tables for lounging and reading. The space is surrounded by large magazine racks above which is the gallery space. The space can accommodate 10-18 medium to large paintings (30 inches being a maximum framed height.)
Acceptance for Display
Artists interested in participating in this program will go through a process of sharing samples their work for jury. Five JPGs of current work can be sent via email to the Program Coordinator and Gallerist, Angela Wrahtz, for review. Upon acceptance, Ms. Wrahtz will work with the artist on which specific pieces will be used for the display. The artist will ultimately submit an inventory of works to be included in the solo show. The Coordinator will discuss/offer display periods to find an period that is mutually agreeable. Art exhibits are currently featured for 3-6 month display periods.
If you are interested in displaying your artwork or have questions, please contact coordinator Angela Wrahtz.
