The Annex

Youth Art Takeover

Presented by Julia Reynolds

April 4 - April 26, 2025

First Friday Reception: April 4, 5:00 – 7:00 PM.

​

This exhibition, displayed in Scalehouse’s Annex Gallery and part of Scalehouse’s Art Lab program, showcases local youth artworks and features a diverse collection  spanning various mediums, styles and themes. The collection celebrates the artistic achievements of local K-12 student artists, including award winning works selected by local community members. The exhibition is a unique opportunity for youth to view their work outside of the classroom in a professional setting.


The exhibition is a part of the larger Downtown Bend Youth Art Takeover, held during April’s First Friday. Student works can be viewed at multiple locations on Friday, April 4th. Some locations feature live music during First Friday.  An awards ceremony will also be held on Friday, April 4th at 6:30 pm at the Commons Café courtyard.

THE ANNEX: A Scalehouse Project located in the atrium of Franklin Crossing is the latest program from Scalehouse Collaborative for the Arts. Through an online application, artists will submit work and proposals. We are delighted to support local artists with a space to show new works, gain experience and exposure in the field, and add to Scalehouse's mission of building community around arts and culture events. View previous Annex Artists here.
