Join us today (Friday) between 5 and 8 p.m. for Newberg’s First Friday Art Walk and the show receptions for our two current exhibiting artists: George Fox Assistant Professor of Art and Design Seth Van Der Eems and Portland-based painter Reed Clarke.
Van Der Eems’ show, “A Walled Garden,” is on display in Minthorne Gallery located in the Hoover Academic Center; Clarke’s “Facing You” is located in Lindgren Gallery in Bauman.
Light refreshments will be provided at both venues in an open-house-style format. Come grab a snack and support these artists during a celebratory time! Contact Chandler Brutscher at cbrutscher@georgefox.edu with any questions.
The Maker Hub’s Excalibur EX-21 Scroll Saw is a small variable speed electric saw. The thinness of the blade allows it to be turned in the workpiece at an almost-90 degree angle, which allows the blade to track along fine detail and sharp lines. There is a blade guard and a dust blower nozzle that can be adjusted to aid while carving.
Rather than watch a video to see how it works, see it for yourself by coming to the Maker Hub today (Friday) from 4 to 7 p.m. for our Santa’s Workshop event, where you can make Christmas decorations with the scroll saw or foam cutter. You can also make Christmas gifts such as custom socks, aprons, coin rings, and leather-working!
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
Need a break from finals stress?

If severe winter weather makes travel to or from classes unsafe, George Fox will announce a temporary campus closure or delayed opening.
The following is our process for announcing when in-person classes are canceled and campus is closed.
Major considerations for university closure are road conditions, ice, utility service disruption, and how long the severe weather or emergency is likely to last.
Stay notified! Here’s how to find out if a decision has been made when severe weather occurs:
More information on campus closure policies can be found at georgefox.edu/closure.

Imagine wandering through the rolling green hills of Northern Ireland, exploring ancient landmarks and cycling across the cobblestone streets of Belfast.
The Northern Ireland Studies program, offered each fall and spring semester through a joint partnership between George Fox and John Brown University, is a transformative experience deeply rooted in the country’s culture and history.
An informational meeting will be held in Minthorn 200 at 5 p.m. today (Wednesday) for any students interested in this opportunity.
As part of the program, you will take courses in peacemaking and reconciliation, Irish history and culture, and other electives of interest.
While there, you will reside in the historic, 19th-century Lakeside Manor, situated on four acres overlooking Willis Lake in the quiet suburbs of South Belfast. With Belfast a short bus ride away, you can venture to the city to visit the historical locations from your textbooks or sit down with friends for a cup of tea and biscuits. All meals are included in the program cost.
