Artists Andreas and Jennifer Salzman will be giving a lecture on their exhibition on Monday, Jan. 28, at 6 p.m. in the Chehalem Cultural Center ballroom. A reception will follow at 7 p.m. in the Hoover lobby.
The Salzmans have been married for 28 years. They have been practicing artists for the past 28 years as well. Although they work in very different mediums, their work often addresses similar narratives. Both bodies of work discuss matters of relationships and the way those relationships define their lives. All relationships are approached visually with similar connections. Andreas and Jennifer both find themselves working with dialogue about their children, as well as those of their aging parents and loss of loved ones. This exhibition, The Journey, explores these narratives through mixed media sculpture and both traditional and nontraditional photography.
Questions? Contact Jennifer Salzman at jsalzman@georgefox.edu.

Presenting will be Peter Boettke, a professor of economics and philosophy at George Mason University and director of the F.A.

The event is the latest installment of the annual Reiten Executive in Residence lecture series, hosted by the university’s College of Business.
Boettke has thought deeply and written about the issues of economic freedom and organization in society, as well as the moral and philosophical underpinnings of various political economic systems. He is an economist of the Austrian School and an author on a new book on F.A. Hayek: Economics, Political Economy and Social Philosophy.

All bears will be given to sick children in hospitals as well as to the Newberg police and fire departments.
Many of the kids in the hospital have nothing. What might be just a bear to you represents hope, encouragement and bravery to them. Pick up a new bear, throw it at the game, and help remind these sick patients that negative experiences don’t have to define you! See you at halftime!
