Waldorf 100: The Art Hall as a Cultural Center

It took courage to start the first Waldorf school 100 years ago, and it takes courage to continue to build on this legacy around the world.

Cedarwood is pleased to participate in this worldwide celebration of Waldorf education and to open its doors to the larger Portland community with The Art Hall’s current exhibit.

Curated and installed by Art Hall Director, Robin Lieberman, who was assisted by fellow artist and installation expert, Patricia Lynch, our current exhibit showcases 27 works by 16 artists on the theme of courage.

At the opening reception, Sue Levine, Cedarwood’s Head of School, shared her experience of accepting her position at the school a year ago. Among other things, she was delighted to find that Cedarwood is also a cultural center, embodied in The Art Hall.

The works currently on display cover a wide array of media, including pastels, mixed media pieces, oil paintings, watercolors, and block prints of varying sizes and styles. All of the artists work out of the spiritual impulse of Anthroposophy.

This is a collection of work appealing to a wide variety of patrons. We thank all the artists for their willingness to share in this celebration from near and far:
