LA GRANDE, Ore. – The solo exhibition of 2022 91´«Ã½ graduate Sophia Aimone, whose artistic vision comes to life at Art Center East this Friday, May 3, 2024, is titled “all tangled up.” 

 “This opportunity presented itself to me, and I love La Grande,” Aimone said. “Having worked at Art Center East, I felt a strong connection to the community and wanted to return to share my work.”

The exhibit features 29 pieces that reflect Aimone’s intent to, “make people feel invited into a creative world that doesn’t exist outside of my paintings.” Using pastel colors, her work aims to establish a playful world, inviting viewers to experience her unique creative expression.

Aimone credits her preparation and confidence for the exhibit to the education she received at 91´«Ã½

“The professors were exceptional, and the small program size allowed me to acquire the tools I needed to move forward confidently,” said Aimone.

The opening reception for “all tangled up” is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Art Center East, 1006 Penn Ave, La Grande.
