"Images of Home Show"
We all have a different image of what HOME means to us. Currents Gallery in McMinnville is hosting a very special show in February that will feature the artists’ interpretation of “Home”. Is it one’s hometown? Grandma’s kitchen? The doggie’s comfy bed? In the woods? At the ocean? Artists were asked to let their imaginations flow and use color, form, and movement to express the emotions that came to mind. Come to the gallery to see the amazing and diverse results of this challenge.
Dates, Days & Times:
Show Dates February 7, 2023 – March 5, 2023
Opening Reception Saturday, February 11th, noon to 4pm
Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 11am – 4 pm,
Sunday 11am - 3pm

Coaching to Connection Presents:
Time out for women conversations are for women of all ages and persuasions! You are welcome!
We are providing safe space for women to share their collective experiences and wisdom around a specific theme relevant for women at each gathering. We Meet Up monthly at a different location in McMinnville with a new fun, provocative, “pithy” topic.
The beginning of a new year is a good time to notice which things we wish to complete or follow through on, as we make resolutions and promises to ourselves. Let's share our list of promises we've made and support each other to follow through. Bring your own list of promises and hold the collective vision of completion!
Check out our website www.coachingtoconnection.com or our Coaching to Connection Facebook page!
"Time out" is facilitated by two international life coaches:
Susan Cook, M.C. - Susan holds a 2-year Master of Counseling psychology degree. Her passion is coaching people in applying their inner truth and knowledge to their "outer lives". Her gift is helping people release obstacles and resistances that create unwanted limitations.
Sandrina Weller, Life Coach, SIC - Sandy, for over twenty years, has been sought out by many different women to share their stories with her. She helps women to remember their own potential and their inside power which awaits them to improve their situations.

The Marigold Inn is an enchanting, layered, and eclectic two-room lodging built in 1894. Her history remains shrouded in mystery, though it can be imagined through the veneer of various surfaces, some distressed and incomplete, found throughout the space. Her doors and windows are original and her spirit, after many decades of life, is wise and playful.

Limitless Beauty is a space that is everything beauty, but without the parameters. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? Well, here’s a place where any and all interpretations of that are welcome. We shouldn’t box in this idea or definition of what beauty should or shouldn’t be based on an opinion that is solely seen from how one person defines it. It should be an eclectic collaboration of what beauty is to each individual person.
