Dennis Worrel is a painter and printmaker living on the northern Oregon Coast. He worked as a soil scientist for over 35 years studying forest and desert landscapes across the western U.S. He is a founding member of Arts Accelerated and a member of Print Arts Northwest. For this show, Worrel painted and drew over botanical dye prints created by fellow artist and partner, Christine Harrison. In this series, Worrel calls attention to the natural world around us, encouraging connection and exploring our spiritual force of nature.
Melissa Young’s mixed media work will also be on display. Young is drawn to figure and portrait sketching, particularly working with the female form, as well as art journaling. Featured in this show, titled Time Will Tell, is a series of mixed media portraits inspired by the artist’s maternal grandfather’s family photos and history.
Additionally, we will exhibit a variety of local artists in a Teapot Show. The show was born from a desire to feature the incredible talent of our coastal artists. All the teapots will be functional, and you can expect a wide range of styles, shapes, and a variety of techniques.
We invite you to view art December 2 through 23, Fridays through Sundays from 1-4 pm. An artists’ reception will be held 2-4 pm on December 3 during which some of the artists will speak about their work and answer questions. The not-for-profit Hoffman Center for the Arts is located at 594 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita, Oregon.

The Hope Chest began in 1998 and is a 501C3. We are thankful for the continued community support, because without you we wouldn’t be able to give back to the community to the extent that we do. It all comes full circle – you donate to the shop, our volunteer team sorts and prepares items to be sold, we resell your donations, and give the proceeds back to local community organizations. This cycle keeps usable items out of the landfill and in turn provides the community with affordably priced clothing and household items to buy through the shop.
The NEHALEM store is open Wednesday – Saturday 12:00-4:00 pm and accepts donations Wednesday – Friday only. The ROCKAWAY store is open Thursday – Saturday 10:00-4:00 pm and accepts donations Friday and Saturday only.
A *friendly reminder* to bring all holiday decoration donations in PRIOR to the holiday. This goes for every holiday, but especially Christmas as these decorations are our largest of the holiday donations. With the Nehalem store relocating sometime in the future, we do not plan to move Christmas decorations with us to our new location since available storage space is unknown.
Please note that the Nehalem location is still OPEN and accepting donations and will continue to remain open until the property sells. Any updates to our new location will be posted here on the BBQ and our Facebook page.
In December 2022, we look forward to celebrating our achievement of giving *Two Million dollars* back to our local community. These monies are donated to various organizations in our local area, such as North County Food Bank, Meals For Seniors, Hospice, Faith in Action and several more. This is only possible because of our community, volunteers, and those who shop with us. THANK YOU!!
Please remember that YOUR Hope Chest needs YOUR help finding a new home! Contact DeeAnn Grimes, our store manager, at 503-858-2092 with any leads.
Happy Holidays and thank you for your continuing support and in your efforts for finding us a new home. As always, we look forward to seeing you in the shop and accepting more of your donations!
Remember to shop local this holiday season. In supporting local small businesses we support each other and our shared community.

Stanley: 17-18 years-old and Eugene’s older brother who struggles with his role as the “second man” of the house
Nora: a gorgeous 15-16-year-old cousin with dreams of becoming a dancer
