The Dalles Art Center will celebrate a Columbia Gorge Community College instructor during its February exhibit. The work of longtime ceramics artist and educator Chris Bolton will be featured in Quin Quinquagenary: 55 Years of Playing With Dirt, opening on Thursday. The Dalles Art Center Executive Director Sally Johnson says his ceramic forms are functional, but he puts his own style into them. An opening reception is planned for Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., with an Artist Talk with Bolton preceded by a reception hosted by CGCC President Kenneth Lawson scheduled for Friday, February 9 at 6 p.m. Information is available at thedallesartcenter.org.
