The Hoffman Gallery in Manzanita, Oregon is hosting a new exhibition featuring the works of three artists - Roberta Lampert, Martha Clarkson, and Lisa Onstad. The exhibition, which runs through March 28, showcases a diverse range of artistic mediums and styles, from Lampert's salt-fired ceramics inspired by the coastal environment, to Clarkson's black and white photographs that reframe the familiar, to Onstad's mixed-media paintings influenced by her travels.

Why it matters

The Hoffman Gallery's March exhibition provides an opportunity for the local community and visitors to Manzanita to experience the creative talents of three Pacific Northwest artists working in different mediums. The exhibition highlights the vibrant arts scene in the coastal town and the gallery's role in supporting and showcasing the work of regional artists.

The details

Roberta Lampert's 'Salt/Water' exhibit celebrates her practice of salt firing and her attachment to Oregon's coastal environment, with the influence of salt, soda, and wood on the artwork realized through the firing process. Martha Clarkson's 'Edgework' is a series of black and white photographs that reframe the familiar in unexpected and striking ways, drawing on her background in interior architecture. Lisa Onstad's 'Picnic' is a mixed-media series in which she responds to the visual stimuli she experiences while traveling, using familiar patterns to bring order to her paintings.

• The exhibition is open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays and concludes on March 28, 2026.
