Art Center East in La Grande is set to unveil two new exhibitions this Friday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. “Start the Story at the End,” featuring photographer Josh Raftery, explores themes of loss, memory, and science through mixed media and photography. This exhibit will run through October 26. The other will be a collaborative exhibit by Jan Clark, Linda M. Peterson, and Denise Elizabeth Stone, reflecting their exploration of nature, color, and storytelling. This show continues through September 28. An artist talk will be held at 7 p.m. on opening night, and raffle tickets for artwork from both exhibits will be available.
