The Arts Council of Lake Oswego announces What We (Be)Hold, a group exhibition guest curated by Kendra Roberts on view from August 7th– October 30th, 2026.

What We (Be)Hold presents artworks that embrace the spirit of what holds our focused attention, wonder, or spiritual contemplation, as well as what we keep close.

What We (Be)Hold invites you to consider what it means to find connection, responsibilities, and sources of wonder in a shared world through diverse artistic perspectives displayed in a mix of mediums and vibrant colors. Together, these combined works offer a multifaceted view of individualized experiences, encouraging us to examine not only what we behold, but also how we hold ourselves and one another.

⏰🗓️First day, a little in between, and the last day

✨Endlessly grateful for an unforgettable summer at Artspace!

Wrapping up my internship here has been an absolute dream.

Thank you to the entire ACLO community for welcoming me with open arms and giving me a front-row seat to the magic, chaos, and detail that goes into running a gallery behind the scenes.

To all the brilliant artists featured in our summer exhibitions: thank you for sharing your work, your vision, and your heart with us.

Being surrounded by your creativity every day has been beyond inspiring.

My definite favorite core memory was helping set up our current show, "What We (Be)Hold".

"What We (Be)Hold" is open to see Tuesday - Friday, 10 AM -5 PM until October 30th!!!

🖼️🎨The energy, the community, and the incredible space everyone in ACLO built together during that process is something I’ll carry with me forever.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work in the art world, I can’t recommend this experience enough!

Do not hesitate to reach out to the gallery if you're interested in interning—you will learn so much and meet the best people.

As for what’s next:

🎓🎨I’m headed back to Willamette University to kick off my 4th year! I’ll be spending the upcoming semesters finishing up my Studio Art degree and diving headfirst into completing my senior thesis.

🩷Special thanks to Nicole, Eric, Carrie, and Sarah for inviting me into Artspace and gifting me with this amazing opportunity.

🥂✨Here’s to the next chapter!
